Vimeo video to action items in English
Vimeo video to action items 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.
Upload the Vimeo video and ask for the table of action items. The speech is in English, the engine keeps the time of every line, and one file may be up to 30 minutes. The free plan gives 3 files a day.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Mind the life of the link
A link of the API lives 24 hours, so the file is better taken while the link is fresh
- 2
Hand the file over
The engine takes the Vimeo video from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Give the transcript to the instruction
The ready instruction reads the transcript of the Vimeo video as the project manager, and the table of action items comes in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items.
- 4
Name the language of the speech
The speech of the Vimeo video is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the table of action items is written.
- 5
Check the file before the upload
The file is the video of the player in the quality that the owner of the video allowed
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 Vimeo keeps, and what it says about it

When the owner switched the Downloads switch off under Share and in the viewer permissions, there is no Download button for the viewers.
- What the platform says
The owner of the video sees the Download button anyway, whatever the setting of the downloads is.

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

What the recording does not give you
The Vimeo video holds the voices and the order of the words. A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file. From that text comes the table of action items, in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items.

3 files a day of up to 30 minutes every day, and the export of the text in the formats of the service, so the table of action items comes back in every one of them.

The file of the Vimeo video and the widget are enough: the engine reads the English speech and writes the table of action items.
