How to get Lecture recording to notes
- 1
Record the room
A lecture is recorded with the Voice Memos app of a phone, with the Recorder app, or with a meeting platform.
- 2
Decide the format before the export
TXT for a plain text, CSV for a spreadsheet, Markdown for a wiki, SRT and VTT for subtitles, DOCX for a review on Pro.
- 3
Do not convert the file first
The engine reads the file the way the platform made it: MP4, MP3, M4A, WAV and the other containers of the recorders.
- 4
Fix the names in the editor
A wrong name in the text is corrected in the editor. The correction moves no timestamp: the line keeps the moment it was said.
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.
What Phone recorder keeps, and what the notes are made of
| What | What the platform says |
|---|---|
| Where the file is | A lecture is recorded the way the room is recorded: with the Voice Memos app of a phone, with the Recorder app, or with a meeting platform. |
| Where the file is kept | The recording of the Recorder app is kept in the Files app of the phone. |
| Length of one file | up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro |
| Free plan | $0: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, no card |
The case
What the recording does not give you
Phone recorder keeps the file, and keeping the file is not the same as keeping the text. A recording is kept, and a recording is not used: the text is what the next person opens. Our own engine reads the recording of the lecture once, keeps the time of every sentence and hands the text back as a document.
Tips
Name the file of the recording of the lecture after the meeting, not after the day.
Phone recorder gives the file, but the name of the file is yours to choose.
Check the length of the recording of the lecture before the upload: 30 minutes is the limit of one file.
Over 30 minutes on the free plan a file has to be cut before sending; Pro has no minute limit.
Set the language of the recording of the lecture yourself when you know it, or leave it on automatic detection.
