Recording limits, retention, and keeping a copy

A recording allowance counts notes, not minutes. How long a recorder runs and how long a saved note is kept are separate limits.

Guest and monthly recording allowances

Account or plan	Recording allowance	Collections
Eligible guest using the extension	5 recordings before sign-in, not a monthly allowance	Sign in to organize your Library
Free, signed in	25 per calendar month	3
TAC Plus	100 per calendar month	10
TAC Pro	No monthly cap	No collection cap
Active School & District team seat	No monthly cap	No collection cap

The guest allowance is for recording-eligible anonymous users. In education setup, anonymous teachers can use it; students must sign in before uploading. Viewing-only and school recording restrictions still apply.

A guest browser recording without the extension is different: its preview stays in the tab until sign-in and an allowed role let it upload. It does not give you an anonymous share link.

For signed-in accounts with a monthly cap, usage resets for the new calendar month, not on your subscription renewal date. Open your account and look for Recordings this month and the remaining allowance.

See Pricing for current plans and prices. For subscription changes, use Billing, trials, and subscriptions.

Recording length depends on the recorder

Where you record	Length limit
Browser setup or standalone web recorder	60 seconds per recording
Recorder in the web Library (shown while your Library is empty)	10 minutes per recording
Chrome extension floating recorder	No fixed length is published for this recorder. The web limits above do not apply to it.

The two web recorder limits are the same across Free, TAC Plus, and TAC Pro. An unlimited monthly allowance does not remove a web recorder's per-note length limit.

How long saved recordings are kept

Plan	Published storage terms
Free	Recordings are kept for at least 90 days. After that, older recordings may be removed, starting with those nobody has played recently.
TAC Plus and TAC Pro	Recordings are kept while you stay subscribed. After your plan ends, Free terms apply, with at least 90 days of retention after the plan ends.
School & District	Your signed data processing agreement (DPA) governs retention.

Ninety days is a minimum, not a promise that recordings disappear on day 91. A sharing link depends on the recording still being available; keeping a link is not the same as keeping an audio file.

The Privacy Policy explains retention and deletion requests, and links to the canonical data-retention statement. School agreements can impose additional requirements; ask the person responsible for your school's agreement before planning an archive or deletion.

Keep an audio copy before you need it

1. Sign in and open your Library. Find the note in your Library.
2. Open the recording player's More options menu. Choose Download. This action is available to the owner and opens the audio source in a new tab.
3. Save the audio with your browser's controls if needed. Keep it in a location your school permits for that content.
