Voicemail to action items in English
Voicemail 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.
What the iPhone stores is what the engine needs. The English speech becomes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; one file may be up to 30 minutes, and 3 files a day are free.

Give the file to the service
The widget takes the file of the Voicemail as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.

Ask for the table of action items
The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the Voicemail and writes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; nothing is added that was not said.
