How it works

How to get the file and turn it into show notes

  1. 1

    Choose the import

    The WAV and AIFF files, including all PCM variants, are imported into Audacity with the standard uncompressed files importer

  2. 2

    Hand the file over

    The widget takes the file of the PCM audio file as it is and marks the speech as Russian, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.

  3. 3

    Turn the text into the show notes

    The text of the PCM audio file is given to the instruction of the show notes, and the answer is written in the sections Episode summary, Chapters, Quotes, one after another.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The recording of the PCM audio file is in Russian, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says Russian and the show notes follows.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The VoiceTracer of Philips records the PCM (WAV) format at 22 kHz/16 bit, 44.1 kHz/16 bit and 48 kHz/16 bit

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.
