Where is my recording? (Dictation, Voice, Meetings, Mind)
Choose the right place for short dictation, personal voice archive, long meetings, and research audio — plus how Evidence cites sources.
Before you start
- FlyType signed in on Hub or a desktop/mobile client.
Steps
- 1
Dictation — hold the hotkey to paste text into the focused app. Not a meeting archive; result lives in the target document (and optionally History).
- 2
Voice Library — personal archive of short/medium dictations with playback and transcript versions. On Hub, synced items with cloud audio show an in-browser player; local-only clips stay on the device.
- 3
Meetings — long recordings or imported dictaphone files become a protocol: speakers, summary, Ask with timestamps, actions. Free includes diarization and Ask.
- 4
Mind — upload audio/video (or URL) into a notebook as a research source. Chat cites the source; timestamps look like [mm:ss] in the transcript body. Optional soft speaker labels need MIND_AUDIO_DIARIZE on the server.
- 5
Evidence (Recording Intelligence) — when RECORDING_EVIDENCE_V1 is on, summaries and Ask can point to exact transcript spans; a signed manifest verifies the revision even after audio retention expires. Jump links use /meetings?id=&tab=transcript&segment=&t0=&t1=&rev=.
- 6
Verified export — Free machine pack (JSON + markdown + evidence hashes) from the Export menu when Evidence is enabled. Not a courtroom seal — it proves FlyType’s revision identity, not third-party notary.
- 7
Search tip — with MEETINGS_SEARCH_V1 / VOICE_MEMORY_SEARCH, Memory can fan out meeting and synced voice hits. Flags default off until your server enables them.
- 8
Honesty — FlyType is software + import (WAV/M4A/MP3). No proprietary hardware Note, Store wearable, or phone-call OS bypass is promised in Recording Intelligence 1.0.
Common mistakes
- Import from any dictaphone (WAV/M4A/MP3) → Meetings Import, not Dictation.
- Need research Q&A across files → Mind. Need a meeting protocol with speakers → Meetings.
- Speakers and Ask on your own meeting stay Free — never a Pro lock.
- Mobile/Windows Evidence viewers stay soft: open the Hub jump link in a browser.
