You're in a meeting. Someone says something important. You reach for a notepad, and by the time you type it out, two more things have been said. The gap between hearing and recording is where notes usually get lost.
What Real-Time Note-Taking Means in Practice
During an active recording session, a note-entry field becomes available alongside the live transcript. You type annotations, tag timestamps, or drop keywords at any point while audio continues capturing. The system binds each note to its exact position in the timeline.
When the session ends, you see a unified view: the full transcript, your typed notes, and their timestamps aligned side by side. Searching for a specific phrase pulls up both the original audio segment and the note attached to it.
This isn't a traditional note-taking app. The notes are anchored to the audio stream, not to a separate document. If you delete a segment of audio, the associated note moves or updates accordingly.
Common Questions
Can I add multiple notes at the same timestamp?
Yes. Each note gets its own entry. The interface stacks them vertically so you can distinguish between "definition needed" and "follow up with legal team" without overwriting either.
What happens if the connection drops mid-note?
The local device caches the entry. Once connectivity returns, it uploads. If the recording was being captured locally throughout, no note data is lost regardless of network status.
Does the note-taking interface affect audio quality?
The audio pipeline runs independently of the UI layer. Switching between the recording view and the note-entry view doesn't pause or degrade the audio capture stream.
Can I edit notes after the session ends?
Yes. Post-session editing updates the note entry in place. The timestamp anchor remains unchanged unless you manually reposition it.
