The room is the studio. Your laptop keeps the notes.
In-person talks do not have a bot to invite, and you should not need a clip-on gadget either. Record the room with what you brought, see who spoke, keep the tape.
In short: put the laptop or phone where it can hear the room, record, then open speaker-labeled notes when you are back at your desk.
How to record in person
- Place the mic toward the people talking. Laptop if you brought it, phone if you did not.
- Start capture before the discussion begins.
- When you are done, stop. Then label speakers you will meet again.
What you get
- Room recording with clear speaker labels.
- Useful for workshops, standups, and sit-downs.
- yapyap Go records on its own when the laptop stayed home, and syncs the take back later.
If this happens
- A long table: move the laptop toward the quieter half, not the middle.
- You walked in without the laptop: record on the phone, sync the take when you are back.
- Someone arrives late: name them once afterward, and yapyap can recognize them next time.
FAQ
- How do I record an in-person meeting with yapyap?
- Record on your laptop, or on the phone with yapyap Go when the laptop stayed home. yapyap labels voices so you can find who said what later.
- Do I need special hardware for room capture?
- No. A clip-on pendant is a second device to buy and eventually bin. The phone you already carry records the room on its own.
- How many people can yapyap tell apart in a room?
- It separates the voices it can hear clearly. Crosstalk and distance hurt more than the head count. Move the microphone closer and it does better.
