In short

What the Audacity stores is what the engine needs. The Russian speech becomes the show notes in the sections Episode summary, Chapters, Quotes; 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 show 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

    Upload the file

    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 the written instruction for the show notes

    The transcript of the Recording with timecodes goes to the instruction that is written for the show notes, and the sections of the answer are Episode summary, Chapters, Quotes.

  4. 4

    Name the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; this Recording with timecodes is in Russian, so the language of the widget is set to Russian for the show notes.

  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 facts

What Audacity keeps, and what it says about it

Where the file is

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.

What the file is

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.

What can go wrong

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.

What the platform says

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 the platform says

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

Length of one file

up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro

Free plan

$0: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, no card

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 Audacity is only the place where the recording waits; the text and the show notes are made by the engine, in Russian.
