Managing Call Recording and Transcript

When on a call with visitors, customers, or colleagues, taking notes helps you keep track of essential details but may prevent you from listening attentively.

Voice and video call recording let you save your conversations to the cloud and transcribe them using the Speech-to-Text engine powered by Google to revisit your discussions when you need to after the actual call.

CINNOX lets you choose your recording and transcription preferences, select or upload a voice greeting and automatically set a recurring schedule to delete call recording files from your Service Storage.
