Record & transcribe

Save and reuse Favorites

Turn important transcript moments, notes, questions, references, and actions into reusable cards.

Audience: Users who want the useful parts of records to keep moving into review, AI work, and content creation.

Time: 15 minutes

Level: Intermediate

Scenario

Start with the workflow this guide is designed for before moving into the steps.

As a founder reviewing several calls, I want to save only the useful moments as Favorites so decisions, questions, and source-backed ideas do not disappear inside long transcripts.

You can create a Favorite from a record, organize it on the board, edit the detail note, reuse AI blocks, create content from it, and recover earlier note versions.

Complete steps

Start from one useful moment

After reviewing a record, save the part that has a clear future use: a decision, question, idea, reference, meeting note, plan, issue, or action.

The Favorite has a reason to exist outside the full transcript.

It is not just a duplicate of the whole record.

Create the Favorite from the record

Use the Favorite action from the record or transcription surface. Vowise creates a card with title, summary, source record, note type, and available tags.

The card appears in Favorites.

The source record can still be opened from the detail page when available.

Organize the board

Use the board columns to separate Ideas, Questions, Issues, References, Meetings, Decisions, Plans, and Actions. Use search, note-type filters, and updated/created sorting when the board grows.

Each card sits in the column that matches its next use.

Manual tags are used only when they will help retrieval.

Edit the detail note

Open a Favorite to edit the title, note type, manual tags, and rich note. The note autosaves, and you can copy or download the saved content when you need to move it elsewhere.

The title says what the card is about.

The note contains the interpretation or next decision, not only raw text.

Use AI blocks deliberately

AI blocks can suggest summaries, viewpoints, arguments, next actions, follow-up questions, improvements, stories, counterpoints, and research references. Insert or drag only the blocks that improve the note.

Inserted blocks are checked against the source.

Regenerate AI blocks after the note changes enough to matter.

Create content when the source is ready

When a Favorite has enough source context and a clear audience, use Create from Favorite to start a draft, then continue reviewing it in the content workflow.

The generated draft keeps the Favorite as its source.

Private details are removed before publishing or sharing.

Recover or remove safely

Use version history when an edit goes wrong. Remove a Favorite only when it no longer needs to be reused; the original record should remain your source of truth when it exists.

A mistaken note edit can be restored.

Removing the Favorite is not treated as deleting the original record.

Details

What belongs in Favorites

Favorites are for reusable pieces of thinking. They sit between raw records and downstream work.

Use Records for the full transcript and original audio context.
Use Favorites for selected ideas, decisions, questions, plans, actions, and reference notes.
Use Capture Library for external web pages, articles, notes, images, and references.
Use Journal when the goal is daily or period review.

Favorite detail anatomy

The detail page is where a card becomes useful. It is not just a preview.

Title, note type, and manual tags help search and board placement.
The rich note is where you write interpretation, edits, and next decisions.
Source record metadata helps you return to the original transcript when available.
Copy, download, and remove actions are for moving or cleaning up a finished card.

AI blocks, AI Chat, and Content Studio

These tools are related, but they do different jobs around the same source.

AI blocks structure the current Favorite into reusable pieces inside the note.
AI Chat is for asking follow-up questions when you still need understanding.
Create from Favorite starts a draft when the card is ready for an audience.
Content Studio manages schedules, topics, images, drafts, and review state across many sources.
