Dropbox file to a blog post in English
Dropbox file to a blog post in English: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
One Dropbox file is enough for the blog post. The engine reads it in English and writes the sections Headline and lead, Outline, Draft, and every line of the answer comes from the recording. The free plan gives 3 files a day.

What comes back from the engine
