Example Opus transcript output
The Opus preview is designed for short voice clips: scan the transcript, pull out the task, then save the text instead of replaying the message.
Export based on the next step
Use TXT for a quick note, or choose structured exports when the clip feeds captions, data, or a saved workflow.
Do not overwork thin context
If the clip is only a few seconds long, review the transcript manually before treating it as final.
