  3. You can also specify the exportTemplate Workflow Environment variable to adjust the way entries get copied into your clipboard. Standard export template designed for copying into RoamResearch is

${fullTranscript}\n - Recorded at::${new Date(speech.end_time * 1000).toLocaleString()}\n - https://otter.ai/u/${speech.otid}\n - {{audio: ${speech.audio_url} }}

It references speech and fullTranscript variables bound within toOutputItem function defined in fetch-text.ts.

  1. The default limit on number of speeches fetched when you are not specifying any search terms is 35. You can change that by changing the value of numberOfEntriesToFetch variable in the workflow settings.
