Recordings

The Recordings module is used for recording, storing, managing, and automatically transcribing audio content in the Siesta AI application. Each recording is processed by AI upon insertion, and a text transcript is created, which can be further used in assistants, workflows, or analytics.

The section includes:

  • Overview of all recordings in a table
  • Recording detail with a player and transcript
  • Dialog for adding a new recording

  • Title – The title of the recording entered by the user
  • Created – Date and time of creation
  • Type – Type of recording (e.g., mobile app, call)
  • Duration – Total length of the audio recording
  • Status – Current processing status:
    • Queued – waiting for processing
    • Processing – transcription in progress
    • Completed – transcription is finished
  • Actions – Additional operations (e.g., detail, delete)
