In short

What the Audacity stores is what the engine needs. The Russian speech becomes the written notes in the sections Thesis, Key ideas, Definitions; 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 structured notes

  1. 1

    Read the time of the head

    The Time Toolbar shows the position of the record head in the hh:mm:ss format, and the format of the display is changed with its context menu

  2. 2

    Send the recording to the bot

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

  3. 3

    Ask for the written notes

    The instruction of the written notes is written for this task already: it reads the text of the Recording with timecodes and asks for Thesis, Key ideas, Definitions, and it keeps every claim to the transcript.

  4. 4

    Tell the engine what it hears

    The recording of the Recording with timecodes is in Russian, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says Russian and the written notes follows.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    Right after the recording it is strongly recommended to export it at once to WAV or AIFF as a safety copy, before the editing starts

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

The Time Toolbar is read-only and shows the current position of the play head or of the record head, and while the recording runs it follows the record head. The Russian speech of the Recording with timecodes is read first, and the written notes is what the student who missed the class gets out of the transcript.

Tips

  • Send the transcript to the instruction only once.

  • A recording of the Recording with timecodes in Russian is read as Russian.

  • A file over 30 minutes has to be cut into parts; the Pro plan takes a recording of any length.

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

  • The Time Toolbar is read-only, so the audio position cannot be reset with it: the Selection Toolbar is needed for that.
