Voice memos
A voice memo is a small audio attachment on the canvas: a tiny microphone icon you can place anywhere, not a full waveform clip.
Record one
Section titled “Record one”Right-click an empty spot ▸ Add ▸ Voice memo…. Click ● Record to start (a timer and level meter run), ■ Stop when done, then Save & place to drop the memo on the board. Re-record and Discard are also there. Memos cap at 5 minutes.
Play it back
Section titled “Play it back”Select the memo icon and it expands into a small playbar: play/pause, a scrub slider, and the time. Single-click to play/pause; double-click to expand/collapse. No waveform, by design.
Transcribe it (the T button)
Section titled “Transcribe it (the T button)”Click the T button on a memo’s playbar to transcribe, on demand. It uses the same local Whisper model as dictation: CPU only, nothing uploaded. The first run downloads the model if needed; the result is cached next to the audio.
Right-click T to pick the model size (Tiny to Large, Base default), the same set dictation uses.
Where the audio lives
Section titled “Where the audio lives”Recordings save as .wav in your board’s Audio/ folder, inside the
Canvas_<name>/ project folder, so they travel with the board.

Settings ▸ Sound.
