Dropbox file to a task list in Russian
Dropbox file to a task list in Russian: 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.
The Dropbox file becomes the task list: the engine reads the Russian speech and the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into a task list
- 1
Tick the file
You hover over the file or the folder and tick the checkbox next to the name
- 2
Give the file to the service
The widget takes the file of the Dropbox file as it is and marks the speech as Russian, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.

Run the instruction of the task list
The ready instruction reads the transcript of the Dropbox file as the person who made the memo, and the task list comes in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later.
- 4
Tell the engine what it hears
The engine reads 99+ languages; this Dropbox file is in Russian, so the language of the widget is set to Russian for the task list.

Check the file before the upload
A document of Dropbox Paper is converted first: Save as and a file format are chosen, and the new file is downloaded as well
What comes back from the engine
- TXT

- TXT, CSV
The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.
- SRT, VTT
SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.
