Tiro/recordingsinside your Documents folder, in WAV format. - Tiro keeps a set number of the most recent recordings and clears out older files automatically.
Download a saved recording
Notes that have audio saved locally show a [Download audio file] button at the top of the note. If a recording is still in progress, pause it first to download. For an offline recording made on desktop, the save dialog lets you store the file at a location of your choice under the note title.How is this different from paragraph replay?
You can turn the two features on and off independently.- Local audio save: keeps the whole recording on your computer only. Since nothing uploads to the server, it suits you when you want to manage the original yourself.
- Paragraph audio replay: stores the audio on the server and plays it back paragraph by paragraph from any device.
