How to use Awal AI

Awal AI (Meeting Note Taker) turns voice into text and summaries on Android. This guide covers the basics; exact labels may vary slightly by app version.

Install & first launch

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Open Awal AI and complete sign-in if the app asks for an account (needed for cloud features and fair-use limits on free plans).
3. Grant the microphone permission when prompted — it is required to record.

Record a meeting or note

1. From the home screen, start a new recording.
2. Place the phone where the mic can pick up voices clearly; reduce background noise when possible.
3. Pause or stop when finished. Your recording is saved so you can process it later.

On the free plan, recording stops automatically when you hit the configured time limit. Premium removes that cap so sessions can run as long as you need (within device storage and reasonable use).

Transcription & summaries

1. Open a recording and start AI processing to generate a transcript.
2. Optionally generate a summary (and use meeting-oriented options like speaker-style layout when available).
3. Review the text in the detail view: you can copy, edit, or organize content. AI output may contain mistakes — always verify important information.

Free accounts can only start AI processing a limited number of times per day. Premium lifts that daily cap. For very long recordings, free may only transcribe/summarize the first portion of the file; Premium processes the full audio. You need internet access for AI; audio is processed in the cloud.

Folders & organization

• Use folders to group work, personal, or project recordings.
• Move recordings between folders when your workflow changes.
• Use search or sort options on the home screen to find older notes quickly.

Free vs Premium

Free includes recording, transcription, and summaries with:

• a maximum recording length per session,
• a daily limit on AI transcription + summary runs,
• standard speech-to-text via OpenAI (default quality).

Premium adds:

• no daily AI cap,
• longer recordings and full-file AI on long audio,
• faster OpenAI speech-to-text (premium quality setting),
• lossless and other audio quality options in Settings,
• sentiment and detected languages in AI output when applicable,
• dark mode and the cloud sync toggle.

Prices and trials are shown on Google Play. Manage billing under Play Store → Payments & subscriptions.

Tips for better results

• Speak clearly and avoid covering the microphone.
• In noisy rooms, move closer to the main speaker.
• Set the app language to match how you speak for more accurate recognition.
• For long meetings, ensure battery and storage are sufficient before you start.
