The Live Transcript Panel allows you to capture speech in real time and review the transcript as it streams.
Start a Recording
Click the Clara sparkle icon in the header.
Choose a recording mode:
Record Session → Multi-speaker conversation
Dictate Notes → Single-speaker dictation
Click Start Recording.
During Recording
While recording, you can:
Use Pause, Resume, and Finish controls.
View live transcript segments with timestamps.
Click Scroll to Latest if you have scrolled upward.
Note: If the browser tab goes into the background, recording will pause automatically for safety.
Using Transcript Only
After recording (or when pasting/uploading a transcript), you can choose Transcript Only when generating.
This option:
Cleans up the raw transcript
Organizes the content into a structured note
Generates documentation without applying a Clara Template
This is ideal when you want a polished version of what was said without template-based formatting.
Review the Transcript Later
You can review transcript content at any time:
Go to Recordings.
Click on a Recording to re-apply it
Click a note to view the note the recording was applied to
Interrupted Recording Recovery
If a session is interrupted, Clara will offer:
Resume Recording
Use As-Is
Discard
Audio and transcript data are temporarily preserved so you can continue after a refresh or interruption.
