Record the lesson and save the transcript

Recording turns what you say into a text transcript on the session record, which is what the study materials are later written from. The speech recognition runs on the panel itself: no audio ever leaves the room, and only the text is uploaded.

How do I record a lesson?

1. Start a session first, from the timetable or ad-hoc — see Start the period on Circin Canvas.
2. Tap Record in the top bar. The first time, the board asks for microphone permission and then downloads the speech model once: Downloading the speech model (~105 MB, one-time)… with a progress chip.
3. Recording starts. The button turns solid red and becomes a running clock.
4. Teach as normal. Speech is transcribed as you go.
5. Tap the clock to stop. The board finishes decoding, then confirms Transcript saved to the session with the character count.

Rules and gotchas

• A running recording blocks sign-out, a session change and closing the app until you stop it and it saves. That is deliberate: the transcript held on the panel is the only copy.
• The speech model is English. Do not count on it for a lesson taught in another language.
• If nobody spoke: Recording stopped — no speech detected. Without a session the text is still captured but only held on the panel: Transcript captured with the character count.
• If permission is refused: Microphone permission is needed to record. Other failures read Could not start recording or Recording could not be finalized.
• Ending the session stops and saves a running recording for you, so you do not have to remember both.

Once the session is ended you can turn the transcript into revision material — see Generate study materials from what you just taught.
