Recording Modes in Detail

Buds Mode (Earphones in Ears)

Put on the earbuds and start a recording from the app, or the system auto-detects calls.

Best for:

• Phone interviews
• 1-on-1 conversations
• On-the-go note-taking

Dual mics + ENC noise cancellation isolate your voice from background noise.

Case Mode (Earbuds in Closed Case)

Place the closed case on a meeting table. Double-tap the case button to start recording.

Best for:

• Conference room meetings
• Lectures and seminars
• Group discussions

The case’s dual digital microphones capture a 5–10 m radius with AI noise reduction running in real time.

TicNote Pods 4G exclusive: When 4G is active and you start case-mode recording, the AI begins generating a Live Summary in real time. Within 30 seconds of ending the meeting, a Quick Summary (key decisions, action items, speakers) is pushed to your phone.

Tips for Best Results

Positioning for Case Recording

Place the case in the center of the table with the button/mic side facing upward. Avoid covering the case or placing it near loud objects (fans, projectors).

Managing Audio Quality During Calls

In noisy environments, TicNote Pods automatically applies dual-mic ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) and AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation). If the other party reports poor audio, move away from the noise source.

4G vs Wi-Fi Recording (Pods 4G only)

When 4G is active, audio streams directly to the cloud during recording — enabling Live Summary. When on Wi-Fi only, audio uploads after recording completes (no Live Summary, but Quick Summary still runs post-meeting). If both fail, recordings cache in the 32 GB case storage and sync later.

Optimizing Battery Life

• Turn off 4G when you only need Wi-Fi to extend battery significantly (22 h vs 12 h recording)
• Store in the case when not in use — the case charges the buds automatically
