Recording a Talk with Slides (Conference / Training)
Record a long session on your phone and photograph the slides as they change. Each photo is stamped with how far into the recording it was taken, so the slides line up with the transcript afterwards.
Steps
- On the phone: More → Record a talk. Give it a title, press Start recording.
- Whenever the screen changes, tap "Capture slide" and photograph it. Recording keeps running behind the camera — the timer stays on screen so you can see it has not stopped.
- Press Stop and save at the end. The audio uploads, the slides follow, and CRMown AI transcribes and summarises it.
- Open it on the web under Tools → AI Intelligence → Audio Notes. The slide strip under the player marks which slide was showing; click any slide to jump the audio to that moment, and the Transcript tab shows each slide inline where it was captured.
Good to know
- The stamp is elapsed recording time, not clock time, so pausing does not push later slides out of alignment.
- A slide stays "on screen" until the next one is captured — photograph each slide once, as it appears, rather than repeatedly.
- Keep the screen on for the whole session unless your build has the audio background mode; iOS suspends a recording app when the screen locks.
- Up to 200 slides per recording, 4MB each. Audio notes run to four hours.
Example: A 40-minute conference keynote: Start recording, then one photo per slide as the presenter moves through the deck. Back at the office the transcript reads straight through with each slide sitting exactly where it went up, and clicking slide 7 jumps the audio to what was said about it.
Troubleshooting
Slides are not showing under the player
They upload after the recording is saved, so they only appear once that finishes; or the note was recorded before this feature existed.
Fix: Reopen the note after the save completes. If a slide failed to upload, the save message says how many.
The slides are out of step with the audio
Almost always a slide photographed well after it went up.
Fix: Capture each slide as it appears. The stamp is taken at the shutter, not at upload, so a slow connection does not shift it.
Recording stopped partway through a long talk
The screen locked and iOS suspended the app.
Fix: Keep the screen awake for the session. What was recorded up to that point is kept and uploaded rather than lost.
Plans
Audio notes and slides are included on every plan; transcription and the summary draw on your monthly AI allowance.
