Frequently asked questions
Does the desktop app generate AI lecture notes?
Yes. The Windows and macOS apps provide notes, mind maps, and recording-based chat during live sessions and in recording details.
Do notes appear word by word?
Notes are generated according to finalized caption increments and update conditions, with processing time. Early in a session they may wait for content. Recordings under one minute do not generate notes.
Which language do the notes use?
Notes, mind maps, and recording-based chat use the recording's target language. Two-way translation keeps that same target language for AI features.
Where are recordings and notes processed?
Recordings and captions sync to the cloud. AI notes process the relevant content through cloud services and need internet access. Desktop also keeps recording copies in your selected local folder.
