How do I record an in-person meeting and get AI notes?
Short answer
Use the Acta mobile app. Put your phone where it can hear everyone, tap Start Meeting Recording, and pause or resume when you need to. When you stop, Acta uploads the recording and writes the summary and action items, which you can read on your phone and in My meetings on the web.

Good to know
Is the mobile app free?
The app is free to download and included in every Acta plan, so you can use it during the 15-day free trial.
Can I record an online call from my phone?
You can send Acta's notetaker to an online meeting from the app. To record an online call without a bot, use the desktop app or Chrome extension on your computer.
Should I tell people I'm recording?
Yes. It's good practice, and in many places the law, to tell everyone in the meeting.
