Recording a conversation

The Conversation Recorder lets you capture audio of a conversation with a lead and have Mobly transcribe it onto the lead's record automatically. It's an alternative to typing notes mid-conversation — you talk, Mobly listens, the transcript lands on the lead.

Before you record

Tell the person you're recording. Recording someone without their knowledge or consent is illegal in many places and a bad idea everywhere. The standard practice is to mention it at the start of the conversation: "I'd like to record this so I can capture the details — is that okay?" If they say no, take notes the old-fashioned way instead.

How to record

  1. Open the lead record on the mobile app.

  2. Tap Record in the lead action row. A live audio waveform appears, confirming Mobly is capturing.

  3. Have your conversation.

  4. Tap Stop when you're done.

Mobly processes the audio, transcribes it, and attaches the transcript to the lead's record.

When recording is most useful

  • Long technical conversations where typing would slow you down

  • Multi-rep handoff — record the booth conversation; the AE picking up later can read the full transcript

  • Demos and discovery calls where you want every detail captured

When notes are still better

  • Quick scans with a handshake and a 30-second exchange — typing a one-line note is faster than recording

  • Sensitive conversations where the lead would prefer not to be recorded

  • Loud or chaotic venues where the audio quality won't be good enough to transcribe cleanly

After the recording

The transcript becomes part of the lead's record.

For one-line notes you'd rather type than dictate, use the Notes field — see Notes vs Description vs Recordings.
