Automatic Meeting Recording

Hello!

We're thrilled to announce our most requested feature is finally here: Auto Meeting Recording!

Now Alter automatically detects when you're in a meeting and offers to record it - no more scrambling to hit record or missing important conversations.

We also have released a guide about Meeting recording best practice.

Why You'll Love This Feature

  1. Zero Effort Required - Join your meeting and Alter handles the rest
  2. Works Across All Major Platforms - Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Whatsapp, Facetime.
  3. Complete Meeting Memory - Perfect transcripts with speaker identification
  4. Instant Access to Past Conversations - Find exactly what was said with time-stamped navigation

How It Works

Simply enable Auto Meeting Recording in your settings:

  1. Open Alter Settings > Dictation tab
  2. Toggle "Auto Record Meetings" to ON
  3. That's it! The next time you join a meeting, you'll see a notification
  4. Do nothing (or click the X) and recording begins automatically

Pro Tips for Meeting Masters

  • All recordings are automatically transcribed with speaker identification
  • Navigate recordings with interactive timestamps
  • Ask Alter questions about your meeting content later
  • Find all your transcripts in ~/Library/Application Support/Alter/Transcripts

This feature is highly experimental so let us know how it works for you

Best, Sam
