Quick one before we wrap: the deadline for the launch deck moved to Thursday, so design needs the final numbers from finance by Tuesday. Priya will chase the budget approval and book the room for the review.

SN1 and SN2 are two ends of a spectrum. Which one dominates depends on substrate structure and solvent polarity. This comparison will be on the exam, so learn the table of leaving groups before the next lecture.

What surprised us was how quickly people adapted. Within a month the budget conversation had changed completely, and nobody was asking whether it worked any more. The question became how soon we could expand it.

Remember to send the invoice before the end of the month. Also, the opening of the talk should start with the story about the lost recording, not with the numbers. Buy a birthday card for Lina.
Nobody said that in these five recordings. Try deadline.

Organised without effort
Colour-coded categories with their own icons. Pin what matters this week. Attach typed notes to any recording, and filter the library by category, pinned or notes.
Transcribed recordings name themselves from what was said, so the list stops being a column of dates.

Questions people ask
All questionsIs RecVault really free?
Yes. Recording, playback, categories, notes, bookmarks and search are unlimited and free. Transcription is free too: your first one has no ad, and after that one short ad plays before each transcription. There is no subscription and no trial that turns into a charge.
How do I transcribe a voice recording to text?
Open the recording in RecVault and tap Transcribe. The text comes back in about a minute with a timestamp on every line. Tap a line to jump to that moment in the audio.
Can I transcribe a WhatsApp voice message?
Yes. Long-press the voice message in WhatsApp or another chat app, tap Share and choose RecVault. It lands in your library, where you can transcribe it and read it instead of playing it out loud.
What does "search what you said" mean?
The search bar looks inside your transcripts, not just at file names. Type a word that was spoken, such as "deadline", and RecVault shows every recording where it was said, with the match highlighted.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Install the app and tap the mic.
Where are my recordings stored?
On your phone, in the app's private storage. There is no cloud library. Audio leaves your device in one case only: when you tap Transcribe, that recording is sent to the transcription service, turned into text, and not kept afterwards.
Stop scrubbing through audio.
Record it once, then find it by typing. Free on Android, ready in the time it takes to install.
