Transcribe speech while recording

Transcribe a recording

Turns a finished recording (or an imported Voice Memo) into a timestamped transcript. The model downloads once per device and is kept, so after that it works offline. It takes a while: expect several minutes per hour of audio on a laptop, and longer on a phone. Keep Recall open until it finishes.

Make the full transcript automatically when a recording stops

On a laptop you can also queue a whole subject: select its folder on the home screen and tap Transcribe all. Leave Recall open and the laptop plugged in, and it works through them one by one (fine overnight).

Timetable

Name and file recordings automatically during class + Add a class

From 20 minutes before a class until 15 minutes after, New recording is named like “Systems Engineering · Lecture 6” and filed in that subject's folder. Imported Voice Memos recorded during a class are filed the same way. If you stop and start again after a break, it becomes Part 2 of the same lecture. Tip: tap Pause during breaks to keep it all in one recording.

Sermons

Detect Bible references (e.g. “John 3:16”) and list them on the recording

Recall only asks for access to files it creates itself (a folder called “Recall Notes” in your Drive). It can't see your other files.

Storage & backup

—

One .zip file with every recording's audio, photos, notes and transcripts, plus readable text copies sorted by subject. Keep it somewhere safe (e.g. your Mac or a USB stick).

Find & replace

Match case Whole words only In every recording in “” Also fix this automatically in future transcripts

Changes your notes and both transcripts.

Trim audio

Keep only the part you need. Everything before Start and after End is cut off, which also makes the file smaller and transcription faster.

Download the untrimmed original first, just in case

Your notes and photos outside the kept part aren't deleted: they stay, without a time. Transcript lines outside it are removed. Everything else moves to match the new times.
