How do I resume a previous dictation?

The **Resume** feature lets you continue an earlier recording — new audio is appended after the original text, separated by a timestamp marker. **Available on:** all platforms. **The workflow:** 1. Open **History** (tap ☰ in the footer) 2. Find the recording you want to continue 3. **Windows:** right-click the card → **Resume** 4. **Mobile (Android/iOS):** long-press the card → **Resume** 5. The card highlights in purple — you're now in resume mode 6. Start speaking — new text appends after a separator like `--- resumed 14:32 07/03 ---` 7. Stop recording — the original card is updated with the combined text **The separator format:** `--- resumed HH:MM DD/MM ---` 24-hour time, day/month. Makes it easy to see exactly when each continuation was recorded. **To cancel resume mode without recording:** - Click the **Exit Resume** button that appears in the toolbar - Or just close the history sidebar **Why use Resume instead of recording new entries?** - **Long meetings split into bathroom breaks** — resume the same entry instead of creating fragments - **Interruptions during dictation** — phone rings, doorbell, kid yelling — resume after you've handled it - **Brain pauses** — you stopped to think, now you have more to add to the same thought - **Multi-session writing** — drafting an article over multiple days while keeping it as one entry **Resume vs new recording:** Use Resume when the content is **conceptually the same** as the original. Use a new recording when starting a new topic or context.
