Record · Phone/·Updated

Record on the go. Desk for the write-up.

Your phone already records well. Pair it once, record when the laptop stayed home, then open the same take on your computer when you are back.

yapyap companion app on a phone with a large REC button for field capture

In short: pair the companion once on your local network, record on the phone, then finish transcription and lenses on the desktop archive.

How companion capture works

  • Pair the phone and the desktop while both are on your network.
  • When the laptop stayed home, hit record on the phone. It records on its own.
  • Hand the take to the desk for transcripts, speakers, and lenses.

What you get

  • Record when the laptop stays home.
  • Finish transcripts and write-ups at your desk.
  • Same library as Zoom and in-person recordings.
  • No new gadget, no gadget subscription, nothing extra headed for landfill.

If this happens

  • The phone and the computer are not on the same network: the take waits on the phone. Nothing is lost.
  • The phone locks mid-recording: it keeps recording, and you can start it from the lock screen.
  • You forget the handoff: the take sits in the phone’s own library until you are ready.

FAQ

Can I record with only my phone?
Yes. yapyap Go is a standalone recorder on the phone you already own. It hands the take to the desktop archive when you are back on your own network.
Do I need a separate wearable mic?
No. The phone in your pocket already records fine, so yapyap’s path is phone + desktop, not a second device with a subscription hiding inside.
What if I never bring the phone near my computer?
The recording stays on the phone and you can play it there. Transcripts and lenses need the computer, so those wait.
