USE CASES · IN-PERSON MEETINGS
Does Aurora suit meetings in the room?
Aurora is designed for meetings you attend. It does not join the call. It listens through the iPhone and writes the transcript, speakers and summary on the device.
Published
Where it fits
- In-person 1:1s, client sessions, boardrooms and stand-ups.
- Rooms where you can place the phone close to the people speaking.
- Work that should not send audio to a cloud service to be transcribed.
Setups that work well
- Table placement. Put the phone on the table, microphone side up, close to the people speaking.
- Beside a laptop. Near the laptop speaker it can capture both sides of a call, with worse audio than a direct feed.
- No headphones for remote calls. With headphones on, the phone hears only you. Read why Aurora records from the room.
What it cannot do
- Meetings you do not attend. Only a call joiner can do that.
- Calls you hear in headphones. The phone hears only you; read why Aurora records from the room.
- Anything but an iPhone. The Mac app is in development.
