Transcription Modes

Meelio offers two transcription modes. You can switch between them in Settings → Recording & Transcription.

Live Transcription

Live mode provides real-time text as you speak during the consultation.

How it works:

• Audio is streamed to the transcription service as you record
• Text appears in the transcript panel within seconds
• Speaker identification happens in real time

Best for:

• Following along during a consultation
• Noting when specific topics were discussed
• Consultations where you want immediate feedback

Trade-off: Slightly lower accuracy than Enhanced mode, especially for medical terminology.

Enhanced Transcription (Batch)

Enhanced mode processes the full audio after you stop recording, delivering higher accuracy.

How it works:

• Audio is recorded locally during the consultation
• After you stop recording, the full audio is sent for processing
• Transcription happens on the server with advanced models
• Better speaker identification and medical term recognition

Best for:

• Maximum transcription accuracy
• Better speaker differentiation
• Situations with medical terminology or complex discussions

Trade-off: No live transcript visible during the consultation. The transcript appears during the processing step.

Switching Modes

1. Go to Settings → Recording & Transcription
2. Under Transcription Engine, select Live or Batch
3. The change applies to your next consultation

Note: Regardless of mode, you can always type notes manually during the recording. The notes are saved alongside the transcript.
