In short

What the macOS stores is what the engine needs. The English speech becomes the blog post in the sections Headline and lead, Outline, Draft; one file may be up to 30 minutes, and 3 files a day are free.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into a blog post

  1. 1

    Choose what is recorded

    The whole screen or a part of it is chosen, and the options of the panel set the microphone, the timer and the place of the file

  2. 2

    Attach the recording

    The file of the Screen recording on a Mac is sent as an attachment; the language of the speech is English, and the blog post comes back in the export of the service.

  3. 3

    Give the transcript to the instruction

    The text of the Screen recording on a Mac is given to the instruction of the blog post, and the answer is written in the sections Headline and lead, Outline, Draft, one after another.

  4. 4

    Set the language of the speech

    The recording of the Screen recording on a Mac is in English, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says English and the blog post follows.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The recording of the screen of a Mac is a video: the H.264 video format in the SDR capture and the HEVC video format in the HDR capture

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.
