How it works

How to get the file and turn it into structured notes

  1. 1

    Mark the pieces

    A Label Track is added to the project, and the labels mark the points and the regions of the audio, so every piece of the talk gets its own start and its own end

  2. 2

    Attach the recording

    The file of the Recording with timecodes is attached in the widget of this page, and the speech is marked as English; the answer comes back as the written notes.

  3. 3

    Turn the text into the written notes

    The text of the Recording with timecodes is given to the instruction of the written notes, and the answer is written in the sections Thesis, Key ideas, Definitions, one after another.

  4. 4

    Set the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Recording with timecodes is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the written notes.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The labels are imported and exported as text label files, and the text of a label can be kept for annotation or for transcription

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

Before the written notes there is the file of the Recording with timecodes. A Label Track is an additional track of the project: the labels in it mark points or regions of the audio tracks, and the label track itself holds no audio. The English speech is read once, and the sections Thesis, Key ideas, Definitions are written from it.

Tips

  • The instruction of the written notes is already written.

  • Mark the language of the speech of the Recording with timecodes.

  • The file of the Recording with timecodes stays on your own disk.

  • A very large number of labels in one project, hundreds or thousands, can make Audacity noticeably sluggish.
