Step-by-Step Guide to Recording a Conversation in AudioLens
1. Start a Recording
Tap the Record Icon: Open the AudioLens app and tap the "mic" icon in the navigation bar to begin recording.
Visual Indicators: Once the recording starts, a waveform animation and a real-time duration counter will appear to confirm the session is active.
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
Tap End Recording: Once the conversation concludes, tap the "End Recording" button to finalize the session.
Configure Recording Settings: After ending the recording, you’ll be directed to the "Recording Settings" page. Here, you can:
Select an AI Notes Template for summarization.
Add keywords to improve transcription accuracy.
Provide additional context (e.g., "Team Standup Meeting").
Assign the recording to a specific folder for better organization.
Save or Upload: Confirm your settings and upload the recording for transcription and note generation by tapping the "Transcribe and Create Notes" button.
