In short
The Recording with timecodes from the Audacity becomes the table of action items: the engine reads the English speech and the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Take the file out
The recording is exported at once to WAV or AIFF as a safety copy, and that file is what goes to the service
- 2
Upload the file
The engine takes the Recording with timecodes from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction of the task asks for the table of action items and puts the answer about the Recording with timecodes into the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.
- 4
Mark 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 table of action items.
- 5
Check the file before the upload
Audacity labels a point, a single moment of the audio, or a region, a span with a start and an end time; a point label is a region label with the same start and the same end
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.
What Audacity keeps, and what it says about it
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 recording of Audacity is taken from the sound input of the computer or from a mixer, and the source is chosen in the Audio Setup Toolbar or in the Audio Settings Preferences.
Audacity labels a point, a single moment of the audio, or a region, a span with a start and an end time; a point label is a region label with the same start and the same end.
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 case
What the recording does not give you
The recording of Audacity is taken from the sound input of the computer or from a mixer, and the source is chosen in the Audio Setup Toolbar or in the Audio Settings Preferences. The Recording with timecodes from the Audacity is only the input: the engine reads the English speech and writes the table of action items out of the transcript.
Tips
The sections of the table of action items are the same for every recording.
Set the language of the Recording with timecodes before you send the file.
A file over 30 minutes has to be cut into parts; the Pro plan takes a recording of any length.
The Time Toolbar is read-only, so the audio position cannot be reset with it: the Selection Toolbar is needed for that.
