How it works

How to get the file and turn it into file

  1. 1

    Check the player

    FLAC is in the list of the audio formats that the VLC player plays

  2. 2

    Give the file to the service

    The FLAC audio file goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the minutes comes back into the chat.

  3. 3

    Ask the written instruction for the minutes

    The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the FLAC audio file and writes the minutes in the sections Attendees, Agenda, Discussion by item; nothing is added that was not said.

  4. 4

    Tell the engine what it hears

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

  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.
