⚡ 9 views · 🔬 Document Extraction & Analysis
Description
Quick overview
This workflow watches a Google Drive folder for new audio or video recordings, downloads each file, transcribes it with Palatine Speech, converts the transcript into a .txt file, and uploads the text file back to Google Drive.
How it works
- Triggers when a new file is created in a selected Google Drive folder.
- Filters the event so only audio and video files (by MIME type or extension) continue.
- Downloads the recording file from Google Drive.
- Sends the audio/video binary to Palatine Speech to generate a text transcription.
- Converts the transcription into a plain-text .txt file named after the original recording.
- Uploads the transcript text file to the chosen Google Drive folder.
Setup
- Add Google Drive credentials in n8n and select the folder to watch in the Google Drive trigger.
- Install the community node package
n8n-nodes-palatine-speechand add your Palatine Speech credentials. - Choose a separate output folder for .txt transcripts in Save Transcript to Drive. Keep Only Audio or Video Files enabled so non-media files are skipped. Test a short recording, verify the transcript in the output folder, and activate only after the destination is correct.
Requirements
- Google Drive OAuth2 and Palatine Speech API credentials; n8n-nodes-palatine-speech installed.
Customization
- Add a summary step after transcription or send a link to the saved transcript to your team.
