Recording an In-Person Session
Tamloot isn't just for online meetings. Record a face-to-face conversation and you get the same transcript, summary, themes, and action items.
There are two ways to do it, and one fallback.
On Your iPhone
The Tamloot iOS app is the best option for in-person sessions — you record in the room, from your pocket.
- Tap "Record Session" on the Home screen (or from a contact's screen)
- Allow microphone access the first time
- A live waveform and timer show while recording
- Tap stop when you're done — it uploads on its own
Recording keeps going if you leave the app. A mini recording bar stays visible in-app, and the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show live status.
In Your Browser
No iPhone? Record straight from the dashboard on any device.
- Go to app.tamloot.cc and click In-Person in the quick actions
- Optionally pick the contact you're meeting
- Allow the browser's microphone prompt
- Click Start Recording, then Stop Recording when you're done
It uploads and takes you straight to the new session.
Record Elsewhere, Upload After
If you'd rather use a voice recorder or another app, record however you like and upload the audio file afterward. Most phones save to M4A or MP3, both supported.
Recording Consent
Always let the other person know before you start:
- Get consent before recording
- Explain what the recording is used for — transcription and session notes
- Make clear they can ask you to stop at any time
Tips for a Good Recording
- Place the device between you for balanced audio
- Choose a quiet space — background noise costs you transcription accuracy
- Check battery and storage before a long session
- Make sure both people are audible — a one-sided recording makes for one-sided notes
- Link the session to a contact so it joins their history and feeds meeting prep
