🔊 In-System & Microphone Recording

Online or offline, in-system or microphone — you can record it either way.

"In-system recording" means capturing the sound played inside the device directly (the other side's voice in online classes, podcasts, online meetings); "microphone recording" means using the microphone to pick up voices from the environment.

When to Use In-System Recording

  • Online classes, podcasts, videos, online sharing sessions;
  • Wanting to keep a video's narration as a text transcript.

The advantage of in-system recording is that it's clean: not affected by environmental noise, and the transcription accuracy is higher.

When to Use Microphone Recording

  • In-person meetings, interviews, classes;
  • Casual ideas jotted down by yourself;
  • Interviews, conversations.

How to Use It

  1. Enter the recording screen and tap the small phone icon in the top right;
  2. Start playing the content you want to record (for in-system), or place the device well (for microphone);
  3. Tap stop to end and save the recording.

⚠️ In-system recording depends on system capability, and behavior may differ across platforms and OS versions. If in-system recording isn't available, please update your system to the latest version and try again.

A Small Note

For microphone recording, we recommend not connecting earphones (earphone microphones have a very short effective recording range); before recording other people's speech, please follow local laws and the other person's wishes.

inFin provides the recording capability; how you use it is your responsibility.
