Webex recording to action items in English
Webex recording 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.
With the Webex recording the engine writes the table of action items: the transcript first, then the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items. The speech is in English, the free plan gives 3 files a day, and one file is up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Save the setting
The setting is saved, and every meeting of the user is recorded from the start
- 2
Send the file to the engine
The engine takes the Webex recording from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction of the table of action items is written for this task already: it reads the text of the Webex recording and asks for Summary, Decisions, Action items, and it keeps every claim to the transcript.
- 4
Mark the language of the speech
The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Webex recording is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the table of action items.

- 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.

The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
