## What is Cohdoo Highlight?

MARK THE IMPORTANT PART BEFORE YOU FORGET IT
Highlight is an audio recorder built for the moments you know you will want later.

Record the conversation. Tap when something matters. Highlight saves that moment so you can find it fast when you come back.

Then share the part that matters without sending the whole recording. Turn a highlight, or even a sentence from the transcript, into an audio clip someone else can hear in just a few taps. No digging through one long recording. No guessing where the useful part was.

Highlight is great for interviews, meetings, lectures, research sessions, field notes, and other recordings where some moments matter more than the rest.

With Highlight, you can:
* Mark important moments while recording
* Mark moments from the Lock Screen without reopening the app
* Jump straight back to highlights later
* Share an individual highlight as an audio clip, with or without the matching transcript
* Share any sentence from a transcript as its own audio clip
* Keep recordings in sync across your devices with iCloud
* Follow along with the transcript during playback and jump straight to what you want to hear
* Add notes to recordings
* Organize recordings with tags
* Search beyond the title. Search across titles, highlight names, notes, summaries, and tags
* Export audio in M4A, WAV, or AIFF format
* Listen to recordings and jump between highlights with CarPlay
* Use AirPlay when other people need to hear the audio too


SHARE THE MOMENT
Someone does not need your whole recording to hear the part that mattered. Share an individual highlight and Highlight creates an audio clip of that moment. Choose exactly what to include, preview it, and add the matching transcript text if you want.

You can also press and hold any sentence in a transcript and share it the same way. A few taps. The moment is ready to send.


YOUR RECORDINGS, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
Turn on iCloud Sync to keep your Highlight recordings up to date across your devices. Everything travels with each recording, including the audio, transcript, summary, highlights, notes, tags, and thumbnail. Record on one device and find it waiting for you on another.


HIGHLIGHT INTELLIGENCE
On supported devices, Highlight Intelligence helps you do more with a recording after it ends.

* Create a transcript on device
* Generate an Intelligent Summary
* Auto-name recordings and highlights based on the transcript
* Copy the transcript or Intelligent Summary with a tap
* Keep transcript and summary content attached when you share a processed recording


TAKE HIGHLIGHT FOR A DRIVE
Highlight works with CarPlay. Browse your recordings, jump to favorites and highlights, and control playback without picking up your phone.


YOUR EYES & EARS ONLY
Highlight is designed to keep your recordings and related content private. It uses Apple Intelligence, including the on-device Foundation Models, to write summaries, name recordings and highlights, and structure your transcript. It uses Apple’s on-device Speech framework to transcribe audio. Processing happens on device. Nothing is sent to any third-party AI service. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries never leave your device unless you choose to share them.

If you turn on iCloud Sync, your recordings and related content are stored in your private iCloud database so they can stay in sync across your devices. That data is tied to your iCloud account and is not stored on or accessible through Cohdoo servers.


GOOD TO KNOW
* Highlight is available on iPhone.
* Highlight Intelligence features require a device that supports Apple Intelligence.
* Sharing individual highlights, transcript sentences, and Follow Along requires the recording to have a transcript.
* Highlight Intelligence processing time depends on device capabilities.
* If you share a processed recording, included transcript and summary content can still be viewed on devices without Apple Intelligence.
* iCloud Sync is optional and off by default.
