In short

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into action items

  1. 1

    Keep the file

    The recording is exported at once to WAV or AIFF as a safety copy, and the file is imported back into the program with the standard importer

  2. 2

    Upload the file

    The engine takes the Recording with a microphone from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.

  3. 3

    Ask for the table of action items

    The instruction of the task asks for the table of action items and puts the answer about the Recording with a microphone into the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Recording with a microphone is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the table of action items.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    When Stereo or Spatial Audio is selected, Voice Memos records using multiple microphones on the iPhone and with right and left audio channels

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • 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.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
