The editor does the first pass.

Open a recording and it is already zoomed, smoothed and framed.

  1. A Slack huddle starts. Recora asks.

    It sees which app holds the microphone, then offers to record both sides.

    Recora's corner card: Slack call detected, with Record call, Record with screen and Ignore

  2. Captions, in your words.

    Apple’s on-device speech engine writes the transcript. Click a line to jump there.

    A recording page with captions over the video and a transcript labelled You and Computer

  3. Export, copy, paste into Slack.

    MP4, MOV or GIF, rendered on the GPU, with captions burned in if you like.

    The export sheet: MP4, MOV or GIF, resolution up to 4K, 30 or 60 fps, quality and burned-in captions
