In the app, tap on the three hamburger icon (horizontal lines), in the top left corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, you should see the Settings icon in the top corner. Tap on it.

Under the Voice Recorder Settings menu, select the Recording Mode option. Here, you should see two options:

Standard: This option captures balanced sound from the mic at the bottom of your phone. It’s best for recording lectures, meetings, and voice memos. You also have the ability to transcribe, translate and summarize recordings.

Interview: An option that only captures sounds directed at the top and bottom of your phone, by filtering out all other sounds. It’s best for recording one-on-one interviews in loud environments. However, unlike standard mode, you cannot transcribe, translate or summarize the recordings taken in this mode.

Select the option that best suits your current scenario.

For better voice recordings, use a quiet environment to reduce background noise. Ensure you hold your phone steady or place it on a flat surface for clear audio. You can also use Interview Mode when recording conversations for balanced sound capture.
