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.
Lecture recording to a task list in English
Lecture recording to a task list in English: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
The Lecture recording from the Phone recorder becomes the task list: the engine reads the English speech and the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.
