The first-meeting workflow
01
Download and install the desktop app
Choose the macOS or Windows build on the download page. On first launch, grant the microphone and system-audio permissions requested by your operating system.
02
Start a recording when the meeting begins
Look for 开始录音 (Start recording). Bitbook records the meeting audio on your computer and creates the working files locally.
03
Review the local transcript
After the meeting, open 会议 (Meetings) and select the recording. Use 转写 (Transcript) to review text, speakers, and corrections before sharing anything.
04
Generate notes only when you want to
Choose 生成纪要 (Generate notes) after you have reviewed the transcript. AI note generation can send transcript text to the AI service you choose; it does not upload the original audio.

Getting-started questions
Can I review the transcript before creating meeting notes?
Yes. Open 会议 for Meetings and 转写 for Transcript, then review or correct the text before selecting 生成纪要 to generate notes.
