Features [#features]

Real-time upload [#real-time-upload]

Audio chunks are uploaded as you record, not after you stop. This means:

* No waiting for upload after recording
* Automatic recovery if you close the browser
* Works on slow connections

AI transcription [#ai-transcription]

Recordings are automatically transcribed with:

* Speaker diarization (identifies different voices)
* Timestamps for every segment
* Searchable transcript text

Speaker assignment [#speaker-assignment]

After transcription, you can:

* Match detected speakers to team members
* Listen to voice samples for each speaker
* Jump to specific quotes in the audio

Photo capture [#photo-capture]

During recording, tap the camera icon to:

* Capture whiteboard content
* Save diagrams and sketches
* Reference photos are attached to the recording

Mobile limitations [#mobile-limitations]

Mobile browsers have limitations that affect recording:

Background audio [#background-audio]

**iOS Safari and Android Chrome stop recording when you switch apps.** This is a browser security restriction, not a SageOx limitation.

If the recording stops due to app switching:

* Audio captured before leaving is preserved
* You'll see a notification when returning
* The partial recording is still accessible

Battery and storage [#battery-and-storage]

* Long recordings use significant battery
* Audio is uploaded in real-time (uses data)
* Consider WiFi for recordings over 30 minutes

Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

Microphone permission denied [#microphone-permission-denied]

1. Open your browser settings
2. Find SageOx in site permissions
3. Enable microphone access
4. Reload the page

Recording won't start [#recording-wont-start]

* Check that another app isn't using the microphone
* Try closing other browser tabs
* On mobile, ensure the device isn't on Do Not Disturb

Poor audio quality [#poor-audio-quality]

* Move closer to the microphone
* Reduce background noise
* Check if you're using the correct microphone (laptop vs headset)
