Which problems can come with the Lecture recording?
The recording of the Recorder app is kept in the Files app of the phone. The engine does not change the file of the Lecture recording; it reads it as it is and writes the table of action items.

What the Phone recorder stores is what the engine needs. The English speech becomes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; one file may be up to 30 minutes, and 3 files a day are free.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Mind the length
The Recorder app records up to 18 hours, so one lecture can be a very long file
- 2
Hand the file over
The engine takes the Lecture recording from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Give the transcript to the instruction
The ready instruction reads the transcript of the Lecture recording as the project manager, and the table of action items comes in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items.
- 4
Name the language of the speech
The speech of the Lecture recording is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the table of action items is written.
- 5
Check the file before the upload
The Recorder app of a phone labels the sounds of the recording and makes a transcript of it
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 Lecture recording from the Phone recorder holds the voices and the order of the words. 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. From that text comes the table of action items, in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items.
