What can I record with Transcrio on Mac?

Transcrio can record the selected microphone, audio playing on the Mac, or both. Common uses include client calls, meetings, interviews, lectures, browser audio, and voice notes.

Does Transcrio join calls as a meeting bot?

No. Transcrio runs on your Mac and records the audio sources you select without appearing in the meeting participant list.

Where does Transcrio save recordings and transcripts?

The source recording stays in a local session folder on your Mac. When transcription and summary are enabled, the resulting text files are saved back to that folder after processing.

Does Transcrio transcribe live?

No. Transcrio creates the transcript after recording. It can keep recording without internet and wait to process the transcript until the connection returns.

Which Transcrio use case should I choose?

Choose client calls for a reviewed CRM handoff, AI context archive for reusable meeting files, or lecture transcription for post-class audio, transcripts, and study-note material.

Lectures

Turn class audio into material you can review

What stays consistent

The useful difference comes after you press stop.
