## Make your first note in five minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up">
    Start with Google, Microsoft, SSO, or email at [tiro.ooo](https://tiro.ooo). Apple is also available in the iPhone and iPad app. See [Sign up for Tiro](/en/guide/account/signup) for each method. Signing up grants 100 [free trial](/en/guide/workspace/free-trial) minutes right away; complete onboarding tasks within 3 weeks to increase the allowance to 300 minutes. No payment method is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start your first recording">
    On the note list screen, click **\[Start realtime recording]** to create a new note and begin recording right away. Before you start, jot down the topic and any proper nouns in the **\[Context]** field to sharpen transcription accuracy. For details, see [Live Recording](/en/guide/recording/live).

    Right after you sign up, a prompt helps you start your first recording. Press **\[Start your first note]** to create one and begin recording. If your browser or app asks for microphone access, allow it. The running timer and pause control on the note screen show that recording is active. If recording does not start, check microphone access and press **\[Start recording]**. To close only the prompt, click the close icon in the top-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="While you record">
    Tiro transcribes in real time and summarizes paragraph by paragraph. Open the original text with **\[View script]** to fix anything misheard on the spot, and add proper nouns from the conversation as they come up with the **\[Context]** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="When you finish">
    If you need to step away, press **\[Pause recording]**, then **\[Resume recording]** when you're ready. When the conversation is over, press **\[End note]**.

    <Warning>Once you press **\[End note]**, you can't continue recording in that note. If the conversation isn't over, use **\[Pause recording]** instead.</Warning>

    A one-page document (a structured summary by topic) and a transcript (the full original text) are created automatically. If you need a meeting-minutes or interview format, apply a [template](/en/guide/notes/templates) with the **\[Generate Document]** button. For details, see [Basic Note](/en/guide/notes/document).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choose the recording method that fits

* **Watching the meeting on screen**: [Live Recording](/en/guide/recording/live)
* **On the move or on a shaky network**: [Offline Recording](/en/guide/recording/offline)
* **Already have a recorded file**: [Audio File Upload](/en/guide/recording/upload)
* **Capturing the other side of a video call too** (desktop): [Record video calls & computer audio](/en/guide/recording/system-audio)
* **Live captions and audience sharing at a talk**: [Conference Mode](/en/guide/recording/conference)

## What to try next

* Register company, product, and colleague names in the [Wordbook](/en/guide/recording/wordbook) to boost recognition accuracy
* Use [Calendar Integration](/en/guide/automation/calendar) to create a note from an event with one click
* [Share](/en/guide/sharing/overview) a note with teammates or [auto-share to Slack](/en/guide/automation/sharing)
* Ask [Ask Tiro](/en/guide/notes/ask-tiro) anything about your note
* As notes pile up, build your organization's knowledge map with the [Wiki](/en/guide/notes/wiki)

Want a guided walkthrough? Book an [onboarding meeting](https://calendly.com/yuna-theplato/onboarding) and a team member will show you how to get the most out of Tiro over a video call.
