What is searched

Four kinds of content, one box.

Results come back as document passages and moments, each labelled Said, Artifact, On screen, or On-screen text.

Transcripts
Everything spoken across your recordings, matched on both wording and meaning.
Findings
Extracted bugs, requirements, decisions, action items, risks, questions, and more, including their evidence quotes.
On-screen text
Words that appeared on screen, such as error messages, form labels, and figures, for recordings with visual evidence.
Documents
Your PDFs, Word files, and Markdown, returned with the page the passage came from.
One search across documents and recordings. Open passage and Open moment go straight to the source.
Getting good results

Search or ask?

  • Search when you know the words

    An error string, a feature name, a clause number. Search is instant and shows you every place it appears.

  • Ask when you have a question

    Evidence Q&A composes an answer from several passages and cites them. It costs a question from your monthly allowance; search does not.

  • Results agree with each other

    For recordings with visual evidence, a moment that was both said and shown can rank higher, because two kinds of evidence agreeing is a strong signal.

  • Open the moment

    Every result links into the recording at its timestamp or the document at its page. Reading the surrounding context is the point.

Ask instead of search when you want a conclusion rather than a list. The answer still cites the evidence it was drawn from.

Search covers what has finished processing. A recording still processing appears once its last stage completes. See upload a recording.

Common questions

Search, answered.

  • No. Search is free and unlimited. Evidence Q&A questions are metered because they compose an answer; searching is not.

  • A recording becomes searchable when processing finishes. Its on-screen text joins search once its visual evidence is ready.

  • Ask the project instead: Ask project answers from everything filed in it. Search covers the whole workspace.

  • Yes, once they have been read visually during processing. The text found on those pages is searchable like any other.
