Why record & transcribe audio with Rewind?

90% of memories are forgotten after a week. Meetings are no exception. The content of discussions, debates, and decisions are often lost forever as soon as a meeting is over. With Rewind, you never have to worry about losing this content again. Rewind can capture the content of meetings including everything that is said, and everything that is shared visually. All of the content is searchable. You can go back to the exact moment in a meeting you are looking for by simply searching for a word that was said, or a word that appeared on your screen.

How does it work?

There are two ways to record & transcribe audio with Rewind: (1) manually, and/or (2) when a meeting starts.

  1. To do it manually, click the Rewind logo in the upper-right corner of the menu bar. If you're wearing headphones, toggle on Audio Capture.

  2. To have audio automatically turn on when a meeting starts, follow these steps. This applies to Zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams, and Slack Huddle meetings.

Do I need to be the meeting host?

No, anyone can record a meeting using Rewind.

How do I record what other people say in a meeting?

Your Audio Capture source is set by default to record both input and output audio ("Microphone and speaker audio"). If you use your Mac without headphones, go to settings and change the Audio Capture source to "Microphone only".
