How to Get the Most Out of Conversation Catcher: 6 Pro Tips

You've downloaded Conversation Catcher. You've tried a few transcriptions. But are you getting the most out of the app?

Based on user feedback shared directly with our team, we've identified the techniques that separate good transcriptions from great ones. Here are 6 pro tips to help you master Conversation Catcher.

1. Position Your Phone Strategically

The sweet spot: Place your iPhone at the center of the conversation, about 2-3 feet from speakers. AI transcription works remarkably well in various environments.

Pro tip: In meetings, position your phone equally from all participants. For one-on-one interviews, place it slightly closer to the interviewee (you likely already know what you said).

Avoid: Pockets, bags, or under papers. The microphone needs clear audio paths.

2. Speak Naturally

You don't need to speak like a robot, but some habits help:

Do:

  • Speak at a normal conversational pace
  • Enunciate clearly (especially with technical terms)
  • Pause briefly between topics (helps AI identify sections)
  • Don't:

  • Rush through complex information
  • Mumble into your coffee
  • Speak over others (wait for turns)
  • Pro tip: If discussing specialized jargon, spell out critical terms the first time: "That's Q-R-I-S, the new payment system."

    3. Master the AI Question Feature

    The AI Question feature is powerful but underutilized. After transcribing, tap "Ask Question" and try:

    Specific Recalls

  • "What did they say about the budget?"
  • "What was the delivery date mentioned?"
  • "What were the action items for me?"
  • Summaries

  • "What were the main disagreements?"
  • "What questions did the client ask?"
  • Extraction

  • "List all the names mentioned"
  • "What numbers or metrics were discussed?"
  • Pro tip: Ask follow-up questions! The AI maintains context: "Tell me more about that" works after an initial question.

    4. Organize with Custom Tags

    After transcribing, add tags or attendee names for easy searching later:

  • #clientmeeting
  • #sprint-planning
  • #interview
  • #research
  • Joe Anderson
  • Tom Smith
  • Pro tip: Create a personal tagging system. For example, sales professionals might use: #prospect #existing-client #renewal #cold-call

    Later, go to the Tag navigation search by tag to find related conversations instantly.

    Or, click on a Tag in a transcription screen to see all transcription for that tag

    5. Export Strategically

    Conversation Catcher offers multiple export formats. Choose based on purpose:

    Plain Text: For pasting into other apps (email, Slack, note apps)

    Markdown: For technical documentation or GitHub

    Copy to Clipboard: For quick snippets

    Pro tip: Export summaries, not full transcripts, when sharing with teams. They get the value without information overload.

    6. Battery Management

    Long transcriptions may drain batteries. Here's how to extend transcription time:

  • 1.Enable Low Power Mode before long sessions (Settings → Battery → Low Power Mode)
  • 2.Close background apps to free up processing power
  • 3.Lower screen brightness during transcription
  • 4.Keep your phone cool – heat reduces battery performance
  • Pro tip: For critical long meetings, bring a portable charger or enable Low Power Mode proactively.
