Selecting your audio source

Choose your microphone from the Audio Source dropdown in the top bar. For best results, use an external microphone plugged directly into your computer. If your subject is speaking through your computer's built-in mic, make sure they're close enough for clear capture. Poor audio quality leads to poor transcription results.

Due to OS-level security restrictions, StorySeeker cannot capture audio from apps like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet directly. For remote interviews, use the built-in Virtual Call feature (Pro+) which sends a Recall.ai bot into the meeting and records everything for you.

Audio recording: if you leave "Save audio recording" on in Story Setup (default), a copy of the full session is saved to your account so you can play it back, download it, or share it later. Free trial recordings are kept for 30 days; paid plans keep them as long as your subscription is active. This is archival quality, good for review and personal sharing; for broadcast use, run a dedicated recorder alongside.
