AudioLens: Tips and Tricks

Start Offline Recording: AudioLens allows you to record offline and saves audio locally. For example, if you’re in a location with no internet access, you can still capture the entire meeting. Once online, upload the recording for transcription and AI note generation.

Use Pause and Resume: During lengthy sessions, use the "Pause" feature to avoid recording breaks or unnecessary sections. For example, pause during a coffee break and resume when the meeting restarts to keep your recordings clean and concise.

Keep Track of Time: The app provides a real-time duration counter and a visual alert when nearing the 3-hour limit. Plan your recordings accordingly to ensure important discussions are captured within the limit.

Add Keywords: Use the keywords feature to improve transcription accuracy. For instance, if your team frequently discusses technical terms like "Kubernetes" or "CI/CD," adding these as keywords ensures correct spelling and recognition in transcripts.

Speaker Diarization: For better clarity in multi-speaker conversations, distinct colors assigned to speakers in transcripts help identify who said what. For example, "Speaker 1" could be assigned blue, and "Speaker 2" green for quick reference.

Select the Right Template: Choose an AI Notes Template that aligns with the context and objectives of your audio recording. For example, use the "Standup Action Items Template" for team standups or the "Key Takeaways Template" for sales meetings.

Use Custom Templates for Unique Needs: If your workflow involves specialized outputs, create custom templates. For instance, a template for client onboarding meetings could include sections like "Client Requirements" and "Next Steps."

Use Folders and Subfolders: Organize your recordings by creating folders and subfolders. For example, create a main folder for "Sales" and subfolders for "Q1," "Q2," etc., to keep track of recordings by quarter.

Star Important Files: Mark critical recordings as starred for quick access. For example, star recordings containing client feedback to prioritize them for immediate review.

Adjust Playback Speed: Save time by using the playback speed options. For example, listen to recordings at 1.5x speed to review discussions faster or slow it down to 0.5x to catch every detail.

Navigate with Timestamps: Use timestamps in transcripts to jump directly to specific parts of the recording. For example, locate a discussion on "budget allocation" without replaying the entire meeting.

Search Across Content: Find recordings by searching for keywords in titles, transcripts, or AI notes. For example, type "project deadline" to locate meetings discussing specific deadlines.

Filter Results (Coming soon!): Narrow down searches by date range, folder, or duration. For instance, filter by "Last 7 Days" to quickly find recent recordings.

Share Notes Easily: Create and share public links of audio recordings or export AI notes as Text or PDF and share them via email or messaging platforms. For instance, send a summary of client meetings to your team for follow-up actions.

Ask Contextual Questions: Use the chat feature to gain deeper insights from transcripts. For example, ask, "What were the key action items discussed?" to get a concise summary of tasks.

Refine Insights: Clarify ambiguous points in the transcript. For instance, if a term like "QBR" is mentioned, ask the AI to elaborate, "What does QBR refer to in this context?"

Explore new Features Regularly: Familiarize yourself with the app by exploring enhancements to key features like recording, transcription, and AI notes. For example, conduct a mock meeting to explore different AI templates.

Keep Templates Updated: Regularly review and update your custom AI Notes templates to match evolving workflows. For example, adjust a "Weekly Review Template" to include new KPIs as they are introduced.
