How to record an in-person meeting
Reline isn't only for video calls. For an in-person meeting, it records the room through your computer's microphone and writes the same speaker-labeled transcript and citation-backed summary — no app to install in the room, no recorder passed around the table.
How to do it
Open Reline on your laptop, set it on the table, and start recording.
Hold your meeting — Reline captures the room audio through the microphone, on your own machine.
Stop recording to get a transcript and a cited summary you can share.
Tell the room you're recording and get agreement — it's the right thing to do and often the law.
Why bot-free
Most AI notetakers only work by joining an online call, so in-person meetings go unrecorded. Reline records locally from the microphone, so a workshop, a client meeting, or a 1:1 over coffee gets the same searchable transcript and summary as a video call.
Frequently asked
- Do I need any special hardware?
- No — your laptop's built-in microphone works. For a large room, an external USB mic improves accuracy.
- Does it separate speakers in the room?
- Reline transcribes the room audio; speaker separation is strongest for the mic-vs-system split on calls. For in-person, you get a clean, timestamped transcript and a cited summary.
- Is the audio processed on my device?
- Capture is local. Transcription, AI summaries, and storage run in the cloud (Cloudflare R2); Reline doesn't claim on-device AI.
