How do I transcribe audio with Speechmatics?
Short answer: You can speechmatics transcribe in Speechmatics by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Speechmatics Speechmatics Transcribe action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
