Shoulder Surf: Meeting AI

LISTEN FROM YOUR MAC Get the free Shoulder Surf Companion at shouldersurf.com/desktop and pick Mac Companion when the app asks how it should listen. Your Mac hears both sides of the call, the other people through its system audio and you through its microphone, and relays them to your iPhone. Devices on the same Apple Account pair on their own. The camera button can watch your Mac's screen instead of the room, and a tap captures it. QUICK PROMPTS FROM YOUR KEYBOARD On the Mac, Control+Option+1 through 9 fire your Quick Prompts in order, and you can change the keys. In the prompt editor, a prompt can now take a picture when asked, of your Mac's screen or through the camera, and send it with the question. On plans that include web search, it can also search the web every time it runs. HOW SHOULD I LISTEN? One menu names each way to listen for the hardware you have: iPhone Mic, Mac Companion, USB-C through a call tap, or Read the screen for captions with no audio. Each one says what you need and tells you before you start if it cannot work. If your phone is on Voice Isolation, the app says so and offers one tap to Wide Spectrum. PLAYBACK THAT SKIPS THE DEAD AIR Playing a meeting back skips long pauses by default, and you pick how long a pause has to be, from three seconds to thirty. Nothing is cut from the recording. Long turns from one speaker break into paragraphs. PAUSE FROM THE ORB Tap the orb to pause or end a session. A bar at the top, the Dynamic Island and the lock screen all show when a meeting is paused. TRANSLATION THAT FOLLOWS YOU A meeting in another language translates to your phone's language on its own: title, summary, report and your questions. A floating pill switches to the original, and you can share a meeting in a third language. SUBSCRIBE WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Tap a plan and subscribe. No account needed. Sign in with Apple later only if you want your plan on your other devices. Restore Purchases is right on the upgrade screen. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Turn off anonymous usage statistics in Settings, Privacy & About. SMALLER THINGS Imported recordings get live speaker labels and sort by their own date. References sync between iPhone and iPad. Chat retries a dropped send on its own and keeps your message. Filter action items by Open, Completed or All. iPhone landscape gets the iPad's layout. Save to Photos confirms it worked. The camera pauses if the phone gets too hot, and says why. FIXES More than a hundred, most of them in the Mac companion, the session screen, translation and the review screens. Ending a meeting no longer restarts your music.
