In short

One M4A audio file is enough for the support ticket. The engine reads it in English and writes the sections Ticket summary, Problem, Impact and urgency, and every line of the answer comes from the recording. The free plan gives 3 files a day.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into a support ticket

  1. 1

    Find the file

    Any file type can be stored in Google Drive, so the recording of the phone is uploaded to the account as it is

  2. 2

    Give the file to the service

    The recording of the M4A audio file is attached to the widget of the page with the language of the speech set to English, and the support ticket comes back as a file of text.

  3. 3

    Give the transcript to the instruction

    The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the M4A audio file and writes the support ticket in the sections Ticket summary, Problem, Impact and urgency; nothing is added that was not said.

  4. 4

    Tell the engine what it hears

    The engine reads 99+ languages; this M4A audio file is in English, so the language of the widget is set to English for the support ticket.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    In the FAQ of the FFmpeg library of Audacity the M4A is written next to the codec it carries: M4A (AAC), AC3 and WMA

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.

The case

What the recording does not give you

Audacity opens an M4A file with the FFmpeg library: it allows the program to import and export a much larger range of audio formats, including M4A (AAC), AC3 and WMA. That is the part that depends on the M4A; everything after it is the work of the support ticket, and it is the same for every recording.

Tips

  • The instruction of the support ticket is already written.

  • Set the language of the M4A audio file before you send the file.

  • Take the file of the M4A audio file as soon as you have it.

  • Bots can currently send audio files of up to 50 MB in size, and the limit may be changed in the future.
