Recording
Recording on Your Phone
Start, pause, and finish a recording in the Wave app — and use the tools that live on the recording screen.
Background Recording
Wave keeps recording when you leave the app or lock your phone — here's what you'll see on each platform.
Recording Phone Calls with Wave
Place recorded phone calls from Wave, or pull an in-progress call into a recording — with a transcript and summary waiting for you afterward.
Live Captions
Watch a live caption feed of what's being said while you record on iPhone.
Recording on Apple Watch
Record from your wrist with one tap — recordings hand off to your iPhone and land in your library transcribed and summarized.
Recording on Android Watch (Wear OS)
Record from your wrist on a Wear OS watch — recordings sync to your Android phone and land in your library transcribed and summarized.
When a Recording Won't Start
Fix 'Unable to start recording' — usually a phone call or another app holding the microphone.
Handling Audio Interruptions During Recordings
What Wave does when a call, an alarm, or a disconnected headset takes the microphone mid-recording — and the one thing you should do afterwards.
File Recovery
Every recording is saved on your device first, so a crash, a dead battery, or a bad connection doesn't cost you the audio.
