Recording with timecodes to a task list in English
Recording with timecodes to a task list in English: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
The Recording with timecodes from the Audacity becomes the task list: the engine reads the English speech and the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.

Upload the file
The recording of the Recording with timecodes is attached to the widget of the page with the language of the speech set to English, and the task list comes back as a file of text.
- 3
Apply the instruction of the task
The instruction of the task asks for the task list and puts the answer about the Recording with timecodes into the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.

The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
