A lot of a meeting happens on the shared screen: a slide, a diagram, a figure in a spreadsheet. While talat is recording, you can capture those moments with a keystroke, and they land in the transcript at the point they happened. Screens are only ever captured when you ask; there is no automatic or background screen capture.
Taking a screenshot
Set a hotkey under Settings → Recordings, in the Capture screenshot group. It only does anything while a meeting is recording. Press it, drag a box around the part of the screen you want, and let go. You can capture as many times as you like across a meeting.
On macOS the first capture asks for Screen Recording permission, a one-time system prompt; after that it’s just the shortcut. Windows needs no equivalent permission.
Pasting an image
You don’t have to grab the screen live. If you already have an image on your clipboard, a diagram copied from another app, a chart someone sent you, press ⌘V (or Ctrl+V on Windows) while you’re on the live meeting’s transcript and it drops in as a screenshot, in the same place and with the same treatment as a captured region. It handles the common image formats and needs no permission, since talat is only reading your clipboard. Pasting while you’re typing in a field does the normal thing, so it only becomes a screenshot when a text box isn’t focused.
In the transcript
Each capture appears as a thumbnail on the transcript timeline at the second it was taken, so it stays in step with what was being said. Click it to open it full size.
Searchable, and in your notes
talat reads the text in each capture on your device, so a screenshot turns up in search like any spoken line: search for a word on a slide and the shot comes back alongside the transcript around it. That same text feeds the summary, so a number that only ever appeared on screen can still make it into your meeting notes. Captures are stored locally, and nothing about them leaves your machine.
