How it works

How to get the file and turn it into quotes with timestamps

  1. 1

    Check the header

    A file with a standard header is imported as an ordinary audio file; a raw PCM file is imported with File > Import > Raw Data

  2. 2

    Send the file to the engine

    The PCM audio file goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is Russian, and the list of quotations comes back into the chat.

  3. 3

    Ask for the list of quotations

    The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the PCM audio file and writes the list of quotations in the sections Who spoke, Quotes with timestamps, Themes; nothing is added that was not said.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this PCM audio file is in Russian, and the widget carries that setting for the list of quotations.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    In the table of the codecs and the containers of OBS Studio the PCM row names the MP4, MOV and MKV containers

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.
