Record audio and use voice input

Updated June 8, 2026

Use voice input when speaking is easier than typing. Recording your microphone in chat is separate from asking a meeting notetaker to join a Teams call.

Record in chat

  1. Open the audio or microphone control in the composer.
  2. Allow microphone access if your browser or device asks.
  3. Speak clearly and watch the recording indicator.
  4. Use the available finish or send control when you are done.
  5. Review the transcript or resulting message and correct names, numbers, and technical terms where needed.

On mobile, Finish prepares the recorded input without sending it; Send finishes the recording and submits the message. Cancel discards the current voice input. Other recording surfaces may present their controls differently.

Make the recording useful

Choose a quiet location and speak close to the microphone. If the recording is intended as source material, tell Aleria the output you need: a transcript, summary, decisions, or action items.

If recording fails

Check microphone permission for both the app and the device, confirm the selected input is working, and try a short recording. If uploading or transcription fails, keep the original recording when available so you can retry without losing the source.

For calendar-connected meeting capture, see meeting recording and notes. For playback, see listening to responses.
