Even memories that are strong at first are fated to be forgotten. As any teacher or student knows, you need to be actively listening to retain information — and distractions like note taking can actually prevent you from being fully focused. Things that pull your focus away, even for a second, need to be switched off and out of your hands. Put the pencil, pen, phone & paper down. Be present and listen to the speaker.

To remember more, you must practice the art of "active listening."  Active listening requires the listener to fully concentrate, understand, respond and then remember what is being said. Critical active listening skills include paying attention, withholding judgment, reflecting, clarifying, summarizing, and sharing.

Active listening takes practice, focus, and your full attention. When you’re on your next call, let Scribe handle the note-taking so you can brush up on those active listening skills — and remember more.

Imagine having 32,320 call recordings. What tools can help you make use of that pile of data?

Transcripts — Hopefully you have transcriptions for each of those meetings — allowing you to read through what was said.

Speaker Identification — Knowing who was in the meeting would help you filter for your meeting history with a person or group of people — allowing you to refresh your memory before the next meeting.

Skim Search — Organizing the transcripts into a single searchable, filterable, and skimmable view would help you skim through all 32,320 calls in a chronological order — allowing you to avoid hunting around for information by opening & closing multiple tabs or files (which is infuriating).

Make the most of your recordings instead of being crushed under a mountain of data. Try Scribe.
