In short

What the PCM stores is what the engine needs. The Russian speech becomes the task list in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later; 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 task list

  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

    Give the file to the service

    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

    Run the instruction of the task list

    The ready instruction reads the transcript of the PCM audio file as the person who made the memo, and the task list comes in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later.

  4. 4

    Set 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 task list 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.
