What does the Vimeo say about the Vimeo video?
A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file. The engine reads the English speech of the Vimeo video and writes the minutes from that text.

How to get the file and turn it into file
- 1
Press Download
The Download button under the player gives the file of the video when the owner of the video allowed it
- 2
Attach the recording
The Vimeo video goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the minutes comes back into the chat.
- 3
Apply the instruction of the task
The text of the Vimeo video is given to the instruction of the minutes, and the answer is written in the sections Attendees, Agenda, Discussion by item, one after another.
- 4
Tell the engine what it hears
The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Vimeo video is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the minutes.
- 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.
