🔍 Why Take Notes While Recording?
Whether you’re in a meeting, an interview, or a brainstorm, typed notes give you:
Context for later review
Faster recall of key moments
Custom highlights for AI summaries
A backup in case something wasn’t captured clearly
Personal insights—like tone or follow-ups
🛠 How It Works
Start a recording as usual.
Tap the ✏️ notes icon (bottom left).
Type freely as the recording runs—your notes are saved instantly.
You can close and reopen the notes panel anytime during the recording.
✨ Pro Tip: Your notes help shape the AI summary
If you flag a moment like:
Big moment at 09:10 — “We’re all in on this.”
Wave may weight that section more heavily when creating your summary.
🧠 What You Can Use Notes For
Timestamped reactions (e.g., Petra raised a concern at 12:45)
Action items (e.g., Send draft to team by Friday)
Emotional context (e.g., They seemed unsure here)
Follow-up reminders
Speaker cues or names
