How it works

How to get the file and turn it into action items

  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

    Send the file to the engine

    The file of the M4A audio file is sent as an attachment; the language of the speech is Russian, and the table of action items comes back in the export of the service.

  3. 3

    Make the table of action items from it

    The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the M4A audio file and writes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; nothing is added that was not said.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; this M4A audio file is in Russian, so the language of the widget is set to Russian for the table of action items.

  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 table of action items, and it is the same for every recording.
