Notes vs Meetings (and voice preview)

Short thoughts stay in Notes with a transcript preview; meetings and long talks belong in Meetings — with a two-way bridge: Save summary to Notes (folder / Work Desk on Hub+Mac), Open as meeting, and related chips.

Before you start

  • Signed in on Hub or a FlyType client (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android).
  • Microphone permission if you capture by voice.

Steps

  1. 1

    Choose Notes for everyday thoughts, typed drafts, checklists, PDFs, and short voice notes — Hub primary nav → Notes.

  2. 2

    Choose Meetings for calls, lectures, and long recordings that need speakers, summary, and Ask — Hub → Meetings (not a second Plaud inside Notes).

  3. 3

    Voice in Notes: speak with the voice-note hotkey or Record note → a transcript preview appears (notes-voice-transcript-preview) → edit a word → Confirm to save to Inbox, or Cancel / Retry.

  4. 4

    Hub Notes shows sync chrome (notes-sync-status): queued, syncing, error, or ok — so voice→note does not vanish silently.

  5. 5

    Long voice in Notes may show «Looks like a meeting» → open Meetings (early hint). On Hub Notes, use «Open as meeting» (note-open-as-meeting) to create a meeting from the note — Mac Notes has the same thin handoff.

  6. 6

    After a ready meeting: «Save summary to Notes» (meeting-save-to-notes) on Hub, Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Hub and Mac let you pick Inbox / Work / Personal and optionally include Action items as a Notes checklist; Win/mobile soft-save to Inbox (pick folder on Hub). The note keeps a link back to the meeting.

  7. 7

    Related chips (notes-meetings-bridge): open a meeting → «Related notes»; open the linked note → «Related meeting» — jump both ways without copy-paste.

  8. 8

    Compare hardware-free Meetings Soft GA with Plaud: /help/meetings/vs-plaud.

Common mistakes

  • Law: short thought → Notes; meeting/protocol → Meetings; bridges between them — not one merged screen.
  • Voice preview markers: notes-voice-transcript-preview on Mac / Windows / iOS / Android; Hub sync: notes-sync-status.
  • Bridge markers: meeting-save-to-notes · note-open-as-meeting · notes-meetings-bridge · meeting-save-to-notes-folder (Hub+Mac). Win/mobile Inbox soft honesty.
  • Work Desk triage (Inbox → Work / Personal) lives in Notes; meeting Save-to-Notes can target the same folders on Hub+Mac.
  • Discover chips (lock, Scripts, confirm-diff) use notes-everyday-discover* — Scripts packs are still edited on Hub Automations.
