Vimeo video to a task list in English
Vimeo video 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 Vimeo video 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.
How to get the file and turn it into a task list
- 1
Open the page of the video
The video is opened on vimeo.com, where the file can be taken; the embedded player does not work for it
- 2
Send the file to the engine
The recording of the Vimeo video 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
Turn the text into the task list
The instruction of the task list is written for this task already: it reads the text of the Vimeo video and asks for Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later, and it keeps every claim to the transcript.
- 4
Mark the language of the speech
The recording of the Vimeo video is in English, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says English and the task list follows.
- 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
- Where the file is
A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file.
- What the file is
The file is the video of the player in the quality that the owner of the video allowed.
- What can go wrong
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.
- What the platform says
A direct link of the API is short-lived: the download field gives links that are valid for 24 hours.
- 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
- Pro plan
$10 a month when you pay yearly ($120 a year), or $20 a month
What the recording does not give you
