Stopping a recording
A recording can end in three ways: auto-stop when the conferencing app releases the microphone, the stop button in the main window or the menu-bar / tray icon, or the global hotkey (if set).
Auto-stop grace period
When the conferencing app releases the microphone, talat waits for a short grace period before stopping, in case you rejoin. The grace period is configurable in Settings → Recordings, from 0 (no grace period) to 30 seconds. Back-to-back calls within this window are captured as one recording.
Notes: title, summary, action points, chapters
The transcript is already complete when a recording stops. talat transcribes in real time, so there’s no post-recording transcription step.
If summarisation is enabled, talat then reads the transcript in the background and writes a title, a summary, a set of action points, and chapters that break the meeting into topics. The transcript is usable immediately; the rest appear on the meeting as they’re ready. The action points land on the meeting’s Actions tab and the chapters show as a ribbon on the playback bar.
Which model does this (local or cloud), and whether action points and chapters are generated at all, is set on the summaries page. Both are on by default. talat only ever generates them once, so re-running a summary never overwrites edits you’ve made.
Exports and webhooks
Auto-export and webhooks fire once the title and summary are in place, so the exported file always contains the final transcript and summary.
