00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.866
You can start with material you already have. On the desktop app, create

00:00:07.889 --> 00:00:12.673
a new session. The transcript area offers Upload Audio, Type Notes, and

00:00:12.731 --> 00:00:16.597
Paste Text. Choose the starting point that matches your material.  For

00:00:16.678 --> 00:00:21.636
audio, select Upload Audio and choose a supported file. Here we use our

00:00:21.682 --> 00:00:26.338
existing fictional Willow Cafe recording. Follow the processing message

00:00:26.361 --> 00:00:30.169
until the transcript is ready. Completion time depends on the file and

00:00:30.216 --> 00:00:35.103
service; this is one example.  Read the imported transcript before building

00:00:35.161 --> 00:00:40.502
on it. Double-click a line to enter the editor. Check names, dates, and

00:00:40.571 --> 00:00:45.297
numbers against your original material. Click outside the editor to return

00:00:45.343 --> 00:00:50.127
to the formatted view.  Open Speakers to inspect the labels. In this

00:00:50.196 --> 00:00:54.933
single-voice example, we replace Guest One with Demo narrator and confirm

00:00:54.991 --> 00:00:58.788
the change. Give real speakers names only when you know who they are.

00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.699
A system status line is not another person speaking.  If your material

00:01:03.768 --> 00:01:08.122
is already written, Type Notes lets you enter it directly. Paste Text

00:01:08.169 --> 00:01:11.698
is another starting option. Our earlier follow-up used written notes

00:01:11.745 --> 00:01:16.353
about the opening target, owners, and unresolved decisions. A small,

00:01:16.388 --> 00:01:20.568
accurate set of notes is enough to begin asking useful questions.  Once

00:01:20.614 --> 00:01:24.283
the source is ready, the same tools are available for the next step.

00:01:24.863 --> 00:01:28.846
Review the briefing, ask a follow-up, generate a summary, or create a

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:33.036
visual. Check the output against the source before you use it. You can

00:01:33.083 --> 00:01:37.112
turn existing material into useful work without repeating a live recording.
