You can record audio directly in any Aleria chat. This is helpful for capturing meetings, voice notes, interviews, or any conversation you want to save, transcribe, and turn into structured output.
This is different from voice input, which dictates a single message. Recording captures a whole conversation. For dictation, see Chat basics.
Record audio from the chat input
- Open any chat.
- Click the Record meeting button next to the message input.
- Start speaking or let the meeting continue. You can pause and resume.
- Stop the recording when you are done.
Aleria uploads the recording, transcribes the speech, and adds the result to the chat. You can then ask questions about it, save it as a source, or turn it into a meeting summary.
Speaker diarization
Aleria does not just transcribe words. It also identifies who said what. Each speaker gets a label, such as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. You can rename these labels if you know who the speakers are.
For example, a transcript might look like this:
[00:02:15] Sarah: We agreed to move the launch to September.
[00:02:18] Mark: Yes, but the marketing team needs two more weeks.
[00:02:24] Sarah: Then we should aim for mid-September.
Full transcript with timestamps
Every recording produces a full transcript with timestamps and speaker labels. You can:
- Search the transcript for keywords or names
- Jump to a specific moment by clicking a timestamp
- Copy the transcript into a document or email
- Save it as a source for future chats or workflows
Automatic meeting summary and minutes
After a recording is transcribed, Aleria can generate:
- A meeting summary with the main topics and decisions
- A protocol or minutes document with action items and owners
- A list of follow-up tasks
For example, you could ask:
- "Summarize this meeting in three bullet points."
- "Create a protocol with decisions and action items."
- "What were the deadlines mentioned?"
When to use audio recording
- Team meetings: capture the full discussion and generate minutes automatically.
- Interviews: keep a searchable record with speaker labels.
- Voice notes: record a quick thought and ask Aleria to turn it into a task list.
- Site visits or field reports: record observations and turn them into a structured report.
Privacy note
Recordings and transcripts follow the same access rules as the rest of your workspace. Only members of the workspace can see them, unless you explicitly share them. Retention is controlled by your workspace settings.
