- There are about 10-20 tasks to transcribe notes in my tasks
- As i explained on one of the recent recordings, the process to transcribe then summarize the notes is currently fairly tedious and time consuming
- I think there may be a faster way and there is a good opportunity to try this out now instead of trying to transcribe then summarize each one manually
Plan
Try searching for the word ‘transcribe’ in my tasks, then downloading the audio for each from notion into a folder on mac
Get API Key Access for ChatGPT and test to see how it compares with manual transcription and summarization via Claude
- Claude is much better at summarizing long transcripts than ChatGPT, but perhaps the API version of ChatGPT will have feature parity with Claude and it could be much faster than manually adding each one to Claude
Try searching for the word ‘transcribe’ in my tasks, then downloading the audio for each from notion into a folder on mac
Review Document Claude Prompt to reformat and then summarize long transcripts and add it to the prompt table below
test to see how it works and how it compares with Claude
test the same transcript for each.
use a long transcript- maybe a few different lengths like 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour
test how long it takes to get the summaries on each plafotm
test how accurate are the summaries on each platform
Choose which service works better- ChatGPT API or Claude web app
if the results aren’t fully satisfactory, then create add a due date to review Test Claude API Access with MacWhisper to improve transcription and summarization workflow
- currently MacWhisper doesn’t have this feature for premade prompts with claude but I imagine it will have it in the near future
consider if using this API method might be helpful for other work, such as creating show notes, paragraph articles, promotions, or other educational content
add it to whatever tasks or projects where it may be most helpful
one feature that is time consuming with claude pro using claude on the browser is that claude can only process so many words at once. for example, when I am asking claude to reformat a long transcript it asks me to write continue several times. does the api have this limitation as well?
- or i can just skip the reformatting - the main purpose for this was to make sure that some parts weren’t removed from the conversation but claude seems to be quite thorough so idk if this is needed and it may be cheaper to do it without reformating. As it is i only really look at the summaries
