The **Recordings** tab lets you capture a voice note or video directly on the device, without needing a live connection. Recordings save locally straight away and queue for transcription in the background, so you can keep working even if signal drops. ## Step 1: Open Recordings Tap **Recordings** in the navigation — the sidebar on tablet, or the bottom bar on phone. You will see two large buttons, **Voice note** and **Video**, and a **History** list below showing recordings captured on this device.

You are given the choice to **Record with camera** or **Choose from device**.

If a voice note comes back with "No speech detected", try again somewhere quieter and speak clearly into the microphone.
