When using Messenger Pigeon to record your lectures on a laptop or mobile device. We recommend several things to ensure greater accuracy for your transcripts and notes:
1. Try to sit close to the main speaker, this will usually be your lecturer.
2. Enable Do not Disturb on your phone, Messenger Pigeon will stop recording if a call is received.
3. Leave your phone out on the desk while recording. Do not put it back into your pocket or bag.
4. You can also turn your phone upside-side down. This will point the microphone towards the speaker.
5. When recording on a laptop, it's essential to ensure that you avoid creating unnecessary noise in front of your laptop, as the built-in microphone is located there. It's preferable to use an external directional microphone for optimal results.
The Messenger Pigeon mobile app doesn't require an immediate Wi-Fi connection for lecture recording; it uploads the recording when the phone reconnects to Wi-Fi and the app is opened. While the live transcript feature doesn't function offline, once the recording syncs with the cloud, you can review the transcript and utilize the ai study assistant tool.
Yes students who has previously used note taking express will be able to access the platform to retrieve past notes. However you will not be able to record and request notes.
