How it works

How to get the file and turn it into file

  1. 1

    Sign in to Vimeo

    The account is signed in, because the source files of a public video are downloaded by a signed-in user

  2. 2

    Give the file to the service

    The Vimeo download goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the minutes comes back into the chat.

  3. 3

    Ask the written instruction for the minutes

    The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the Vimeo download and writes the minutes in the sections Attendees, Agenda, Discussion by item; nothing is added that was not said.

  4. 4

    Set the language of the speech

    The speech of the Vimeo download is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the minutes is written.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The download button is on the page of the video only when the owner of the video has enabled the downloads

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.
