1. Click **Record** from the home screen.
2. Hit the **Start Recording** button (last one on the far right) on the floating recording bar to commence.
3. You’ll see the ticker increase by the second and visualizer (vertical bars) move as audio is captured. Make sure the circle beside the timer is red. That shows that your recording is proceeding as planned.
4. If there’s a break in class or the instructor asks you to stop recording for a moment (for example, during a confidential discussion), press the Pause button.
When it’s time to continue, press the Play icon to resume recording. The circle next to the timer should turn back to red after you hit the Play icon to resume recording and the ticker should continue to increase.
5. When finished, click the **Finish Recording** button to save your session.
6. A message will appear asking if you’d like to save your recording. Give your session an identifiable title without special characters and click the Save button.
7. After you press save, an uploading pop up should appear. Once it properly saves, you'll be brought back to your Dashboard.
8. You will need to wait for a few minutes before your session is viewable. If you click the session and you don't see a transcript yet, please wait because it can take up to 15 minutes for the entire thing to go through and for your transcript to be produced.
You can also always change your title later.
Optional: Request Professional Notes
If you'd like to request professional human notes, you can do so in two ways:
1) On the dashboard, locate the session and look to the right. Press the three vertical dot menu and you will see the Request Pro Notes button.
2) When you enter the session, you can also request notes by pressing the little note-book icon on the recording bar.
This allows one of our trained note-takers to summarize your recording for you.
You can choose Request Notes to place an order right away.
Or select Maybe Later — you can always order notes later from your dashboard.
