How it works

How to get the file and turn it into flashcards for revision

  1. 1

    Open it in an audio program

    The FFmpeg library of Audacity imports a much larger range of audio formats, including AC3, M4A, MP4 and WMA, so an M4A of a phone is opened with it

  2. 2

    Hand the file over

    The M4A audio file goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the revision deck comes back into the chat.

  3. 3

    Ask for the revision deck

    The ready instruction reads the transcript of the M4A audio file as the student who missed the lecture, and the revision deck comes in the sections Cards, Terms to define, Self-check questions.

  4. 4

    Name the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this M4A audio file is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the revision deck.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    A voice message of the Telegram Bot API is an .OGG file encoded with OPUS, an .MP3 file or an .M4A file

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

The Telegram Bot API takes an audio file only in the .MP3 or .M4A format, and it sends a voice message in the .OGG file encoded with OPUS, .MP3 or .M4A format. The M4A audio file is only the input: the engine reads the English speech and writes the revision deck out of the transcript.
