In short

One FLAC audio file is enough for the table of action items. The engine reads it in English and writes the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items, and every line of the answer comes from the recording. The free plan gives 3 files a day.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into action items

  1. 1

    Record it in a container

    In OBS Studio the FLAC codec is recorded in the MP4 and MKV containers

  2. 2

    Attach the recording

    The widget takes the file of the FLAC audio file as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.

  3. 3

    Ask for the table of action items

    The text of the FLAC audio file is given to the instruction of the table of action items, and the answer is written in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items, one after another.

  4. 4

    Tell the engine what it hears

    The engine reads 99+ languages; this FLAC audio file is in English, so the language of the widget is set to English for the table of action items.

  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.

The case

What the recording does not give you

The FLAC codec is used by OBS Studio with the MP4 and MKV containers. That is the part that depends on the FLAC; everything after it is the work of the table of action items, and it is the same for every recording.

Tips

  • A name that was never said in the FLAC audio file stays out of the table of action items.
