In short

The Recording with timecodes from the Audacity becomes the task list: the engine reads the Russian 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.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into a task list

  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

    Hand the file over

    The engine takes the Recording with timecodes from the widget of the page; the speech is in Russian, and the task list comes back with the timecodes.

  3. 3

    Ask for the task list

    The text of the Recording with timecodes is given to the instruction of the task list, and the answer is written in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later, one after another.

  4. 4

    Name the language of the speech

    The speech of the Recording with timecodes is Russian, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on Russian while the task list is written.

  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 Recording with timecodes from the Audacity holds the voices and the order of the words. 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. From that text comes the task list, in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later.

Tips

  • The instruction of the task list is already written.

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

  • Check who may download the file of the Recording with timecodes.

  • 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.
