Step-by-Step Guide to Recording a Conversation in AudioLens

1. Start a Recording

  1. Tap the Record Icon: Open the AudioLens app and tap the "mic" icon in the navigation bar to begin recording.

  2. Visual Indicators: Once the recording starts, a waveform animation and a real-time duration counter will appear to confirm the session is active.

  3. Stay Connected: While internet connectivity is optional for starting a recording, having a stable connection enables instant upload and processing.

2. Manage the Recording

  • Pause and Resume: During the session, use the "Pause" button to temporarily stop recording. Tap "Resume" to continue from where you left off. This feature is useful for skipping irrelevant parts of the conversation.

  • Monitor Duration: Keep track of your recording time using the real-time counter. The app provides alerts as you approach the 3-hour recording limit.

  • Background Recording: If you need to multitask or switch apps, AudioLens continues recording in the background.

3. End the Recording

  1. Tap End Recording: Once the conversation concludes, tap the "End Recording" button to finalize the session.

  2. Configure Recording Settings: After ending the recording, you’ll be directed to the "Recording Settings" page. Here, you can:

    1. Select an AI Notes Template for summarization.

    2. Add keywords to improve transcription accuracy.

    3. Provide additional context (e.g., "Team Standup Meeting").

    4. Assign the recording to a specific folder for better organization.

  3. Save or Upload: Confirm your settings and upload the recording for transcription and note generation by tapping the "Transcribe and Create Notes" button.

Additional Features to Enhance Your Experience

Playback and Editing

  1. Playback Speed: Use the playback feature to review your recording at speeds ranging from 0.5x to 2.5x.

  2. Navigate with Timestamps (Coming soon!): Transcripts include timestamps, allowing you to jump directly to specific moments in the recording.

Folder Management

  1. Organize Recordings: Create folders and subfolders to categorize your recordings. For example, group team meetings, client calls, or brainstorming sessions into separate folders for easy access.

  2. Star important Audio Recordings: Highlight critical recordings by starring them for quick retrieval.

AI-Powered Insights

  1. Transcription: Once uploaded, the recording is transcribed using advanced language models. Speaker diarization ensures clarity in multi-speaker conversations.

  2. AI Notes Generation: Choose templates to generate actionable notes tailored to your objectives. For instance, use the "Standup Action Items Template" for follow-ups or the "Key Takeaways Template" for summaries.

  3. Interactive Chat: Ask contextual questions to the AI to extract deeper insights from the recording.

  2. Check Device Storage: Verify that your device has sufficient storage before starting a recording.

  3. Monitor Battery Life: Ensure your device is charged to avoid interruptions during long sessions.
