When the configuration is done, the user can upload the audio file to the corresponding source field.
When the action is triggered - the target field will be automatically filled in by the written text taken from the audio file.

Notes and limitations in the current implementation

  • Currently video source files are not supported;

  • Currently only audio source files of the .WAV format are supported;

  • If the target text was manually edited and then the action is triggered - manual changes will not be saved.
