1. Recording

  • Begin recording. You can start recording in any way you normally do, using:
    • The on-screen button on the application bar
    • The recording shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Up)
    • Your recording hotkey, or
    • A supported device button (if recording long sessions, you may wish to ensure that your Record button preference is not set to Hold the button to record.)
  • When you are on the Lexacom Live tab, the Echo control on your application bar will show this symbol:

  • Whilst recording, you will be locked on the Lexacom Live tab – you will not be able to navigate to other tabs. Lexacom Live will look like this:

  • You may stop and start your recording as much as you like. When you have paused recording, you can start recording to add to the current session, or process the session you have recorded.
  • Lexacom Live requires a minimum amount of recording before Comprehension Engine® can process a session (approximately 50 words). If you have not recorded enough, Lexacom Live will look like this:
