In-Person Meetings

Record in-person meetings with the Cogram mobile app or from your browser, and get drafted minutes when you end the meeting.

Record a site meeting or OAC meeting on your phone or laptop, and Cogram drafts the minutes when you end it. On mobile you can also take photos during the recording, and the recording keeps working with poor signal.

Recording on your phone

1. On the Home tab of the mobile app, tap Record Meeting.

2. Enter a title, pick the Project and language, and tap Start Meeting.

While recording, the screen shows a timer and a live waveform, and stays awake:

• Tap the camera to take photos during the meeting. They attach to the meeting and appear on its page afterward.

• Pause and resume whenever you step out.

• Tap End Meeting when you are done. The recording uploads and Cogram drafts the minutes; with no signal, the upload waits until you are back online (see Working Offline).

If the app closes mid-recording, nothing is lost: on reopening it shows "Unsaved recording", and you choose Keep & Save or Discard.

Recording an in-person meeting

Once processed, the meeting's page on your phone shows the summary and bullet notes, and the full minutes are on the Meetings page on the web. Save Recording on the meeting page shares the raw audio file if you ever need it.

Cogram detects different speakers by voice and labels them "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", and so on. It typically needs at least 30 seconds of speech from a person to identify them reliably. You can name the speakers afterward (below).

Recording from your browser

Meeting in a conference room with a laptop? Open Meetings > In Person in the web app, set the meeting name and language, and click Start Meeting.

Starting an in-person meeting from the web app

Grant Cogram microphone access when your browser asks. Cogram transcribes the conversation and drafts minutes when you click End Meeting.

Naming speakers

After a meeting is completed, open it on the web and scroll to Participants in the Overview section. Click a speaker's name to rename them. Cogram then offers Regenerate Notes to update the minutes and summaries with the real names.
