Hey everyone,

This week we focused on making your daily workflows even smoother, including one highly requested feature is now live

🎶 Röyksopp - So Easy 🎶

Continuous Back-to-Back Recording

You can now record meetings back-to-back without interruption. When you finish a recording, start a new one instantly while Alter transcribes the meeting you just completed. No more waiting for the transcription to be finished.

How to use it
Simply use the keyboard shortcut to stop and start recordings. The fastest way to keep up with consecutive meetings without missing a beat.

❝

Default keyboard shortcut for recording is Command+Shift+M

Native Experience for Plan Mode

Questions asked by Alter in the Hub's Plan Mode are now rendered natively. This creates a more intuitive experience while planning your work.

It's available now in the latest update. Try the back-to-back recording with your next series of meetings and let us know what you think.

See you next week,
Olivier & Samuel
