Online recording

Record a long online class and replay the part you need

Finding one sentence in a 90-minute recording takes time. When you hear something you will need later, save its time and add a short note such as ‘pricing explanation’ or ‘check again.’ TAB.REC calls this saved point a marker.

1. Confirm where the class or meeting audio is playing

TAB.REC records only the audio playing in the Chrome tab where you start it. It does not record your microphone or all computer audio. You can record up to three Chrome tabs separately; naming each tab after its class or meeting makes the recording list easier to scan.

2. Choose what to save for later

Bookmark: a position worth checking again
Important: five seconds earlier, useful when you react after a sentence begins
Note: the reason to return, such as ‘pricing evidence’ or ‘customer question’
Screenshot: one visible-tab frame and PNG filename tied to that recording moment

3. Write search terms, not a transcript

Short phrases are enough: ‘market sizing method’, ‘key decision — replay’, or ‘question: launch date’. A note uses the time when you began typing, so it stays close to the moment that prompted it.

4. Check saved times in the recording list before exporting

Replay from each important saved time, rename the recording, and place it in a project folder. Then choose MP3, WAV, WebM, and Markdown for the next job.

Limits worth knowing

Protected media and browser policy can prevent tab capture
System sleep can interrupt a long recording
Capture saves one visible-tab frame, not continuous screen video
Export important work as a regular file or .tabrec project
