How it works

How to get the file and turn it into structured notes

  1. 1

    Open it in an audio program

    The FLAC files are imported into Audacity together with MP3, Ogg Vorbis and MP2, without the FFmpeg library

  2. 2

    Send the recording to the bot

    The file of the FLAC audio file is attached in the widget of this page, and the speech is marked as English; the answer comes back as the written notes.

  3. 3

    Ask the written instruction for the written notes

    The transcript of the FLAC audio file goes to the instruction that is written for the written notes, and the sections of the answer are Thesis, Key ideas, Definitions.

  4. 4

    Set the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this FLAC audio file is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the written notes.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    FLAC stands in the list of the audio formats of VLC next to ALAC, Musepack, Wavpack and TrueAudio

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.
