How it works

How to get the file and turn it into a blog post

    Check the player

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

  2. 2

    Upload the file

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

  3. 3

    Run the instruction of the blog post

    The instruction of the task asks for the blog post and puts the answer about the FLAC audio file into the sections Headline and lead, Outline, Draft; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.

  4. 4

    Name the language of the speech

    The speech of the FLAC audio file is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the blog post is written.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    In the table of the codecs and the containers of OBS Studio the FLAC row names the MP4 and MKV containers

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.
