Recordings captures a meeting or lecture from your microphone, the call’s audio, or both, and writes the transcript as people talk. Afterwards you can read a summary, name the speakers, and ask questions about what was said. The recording model is set separately from your Dictation and file Transcription models.

​
Before you start

  • Choose a transcription model in Settings → Recording Models.
  • macOS asks for Microphone and system-audio access the first time you record them. Allow both for the sources you use.
Make sure participants know about the recording, and follow the requirements that apply to your meeting.

​
Record a meeting

1

Open a new recording

Open Settings → Recordings and click New recording, or run Start to Record (Meeting/Lecture).
2

Choose the audio sources

Choose the Microphone, then what Call audio to record: Off records only your microphone, All apps records everything your Mac plays, and One app records only the meeting app’s sound. Open the meeting app first to pick it. Check the Transcription model, and turn on Live Translation if the model offers it.
3

Start recording

Click Start recording, and check that words appear in the live transcript.
4

Stop

Click Stop when you finish, then open the saved item under Recordings.
While you record, you can pause and resume, add notes, and press ⌘B to bookmark a moment. The recording is saved as you go, so nothing is lost if Enconvo quits. To change the sources later, click the arrow next to New recording and choose Choose audio sources…. In the same menu, Meeting reminder asks on the Dynamic Island whether to record when a Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, or WeChat call starts.

​
Review the result

Open a recording to see its Transcript beside Summary and Ask AI.
  • Transcript: check who said what, especially where voices overlap. Click a speaker label to name that speaker; Enconvo then recognizes the voice in new recordings. Use the Dictionary for recurring terms.
  • Summary: an overview, the key points, decisions, and action items, written by AI from the transcript.
  • Ask AI: ask about the recording. When you ask for follow-ups, ask for an owner and deadline only where the meeting stated one.

​
When a step fails

Transcription, title generation, and search indexing are separate stages. An error in a later stage does not mean the audio or transcript is lost. Long recordings take a few minutes, and processing goes on if you leave the page. Read the recording’s processing status and use Retry transcription or Retry index on the step that failed. When you report a problem, Copy details for support copies the reference and log location support asks for, without the recording. Check it for private information before you send it.
