Overview
In-Person Recording lets you capture meetings that happen in the room — no video call needed. Your device’s microphone records the conversation, Deepgram transcribes it with speaker diarization, you label the speakers, and then the full AI analysis pipeline runs. In-person recordings get the same intelligence as video call recordings: executive summary, key decisions, action items, risks, open questions, speaker statistics, and a momentum score.How to Record
Open the recording page
Click the green Record In-Person button from the Meetings page header or the Dashboard. This opens a dedicated recording view at
/meetings/record.Enter a title
Give your meeting a descriptive name (e.g., “Weekly Team Standup”, “Client Discovery Call”). This is optional but makes meetings easier to find later.
Start recording
Click the red Start Recording button. Your browser will ask for microphone permission the first time.During recording you’ll see:
- A live audio waveform visualization
- A running timer (minutes:seconds or hours:minutes:seconds)
- Pause and Stop buttons
Pause and resume (optional)
Click Pause to temporarily halt recording (e.g., during a break). Click Resume to continue. The timer picks up where it left off.
Stop recording
Click Stop when the meeting ends. You’ll see:
- An audio player to preview the recording
- Upload & Transcribe button to proceed
- Re-record button to discard and start over
Speaker Labeling
After transcription completes, the transcript shows generic speaker labels: Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc. You need to assign real names before analysis can run.Open the meeting detail page
You’re redirected here automatically after upload. If you navigate away, find the meeting in the Recordings tab — it has a green In-Person badge.
Rename speakers
An amber Label Speakers panel appears above the transcript. Each generic speaker label has an input field next to it. Type the person’s real name for each speaker.
The speaker labeling panel only appears when
analysis_status is awaiting_speaker_labels. Once you click Save & Analyze, the panel disappears and the analysis runs in the background. The page auto-refreshes when analysis completes.Audio Quality Tips
For best transcription results:- Device placement — Place your laptop or phone near the center of the table, not next to one person
- Quiet environment — Minimize background noise (close doors, turn off fans if possible)
- Speak clearly — Encourage participants to speak one at a time for better diarization
- Microphone check — Test your microphone in browser settings before an important recording
- Battery — Ensure your device is charged or plugged in for longer meetings
