How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Choose the container
The recording format is chosen in the recording tab of the output settings; MKV is the recommendation of the guide in case of unforeseen issues arise
- 2
Give the file to the service
The widget takes the file of the Recording of a game as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the Recording of a game and writes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; nothing is added that was not said.
- 4
Tell the engine what it hears
The engine reads 99+ languages; this Recording of a game is in English, so the language of the widget is set to English for the table of action items.

Check the file before the upload
The MKV container is the default one of OBS Studio, it supports every single codec combination of the program and it is not corrupted as a whole when the recording stops without a graceful ending
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.
