NeuroSwitcher can now record a whole conversation and turn it into text.
- Both sides are recorded. Your microphone and whatever plays in your headphones — that is, the other participants' voices. Not a screen recording, and not "whatever the mic picks up from the speakers", but two clean sources.
- Who said what is already marked. In the transcript your lines and theirs are labelled separately, because they were two separate tracks rather than one mix. No guessing afterwards.
- One file, both sides. A recording is stored as a single stereo file — you on the left, everyone else on the right — so you hear who is speaking the same way you read it in the transcript. Any player opens it.
- Mute your microphone mid-call. Click the microphone meter on the badge and your voice stops going into the file while the other side keeps recording. Muted, the meter draws struck through — and it looks the same if you switched the microphone off before the meeting, so you cannot record half a conversation without noticing.
- Transcription is a separate action. The recording stops and nothing goes anywhere. You pick a session and press transcribe when you want it — in an hour or next week.
- The files stay yours. Every conversation is its own folder: the audio, the transcript as text, and a timecoded version for subtitles. Zip it, move it, or delete it. Deleting is your action, not ours.
- On-device transcription costs nothing extra. The model runs locally, with no internet and no charge. Cloud transcription stays a separate choice for when you want speed.
- Punctuation, put back. Recognisers return quiet speech as an unpunctuated run of lowercase words and mangle foreign terms spoken inside another language. Switch this on and the assistant repairs both after transcribing. It only ever corrects: a line it rewrote instead is thrown away and the original kept. Off by default, because it sends the text of the conversation to your AI provider.
Read this before you press Record. It captures not only your voice but the voices of the people you are talking to. In many countries recording a conversation without everyone's agreement is illegal, and Zoom, Teams and Slack add rules of their own. Windows shows the other participants no indicator that system audio is being recorded — they will not know unless you tell them. Tell them. The app asks you about this once, before the first recording; this is not legal advice, and the rules depend on where you and they are.
Meeting recording is a Pro feature, switched on for everyone during the beta.
To update: the console will offer the update itself, or download the installer from the site. It installs over your current copy — settings, dictionaries and licence are kept.
