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
- 1
Open Reline on your laptop, set it on the table, and start recording.
- 2
Hold your meeting — Reline captures the room audio through the microphone, on your own machine.
- 3
Stop recording to get a transcript and a cited summary you can share.
- 4
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.
