This guide was produced with the very method it describes: one 12-minute spoken session, rectangles drawn while talking, and captures taken along the way. The Turkish cards above are interactive; English interactive scenes follow.

The 12-minute recording that produced this guide, shown in the transcript panel
Everything on this page was captured in a single 12-minute conversation; transcript, marks and visuals share one timeline.

The transcript view of the conversation that produced this guide; the content was narrated in a single voice session.

Start recording with ⌥A. The recording bar appears with the Capture Actions menu next to it; while you talk, everything is collected with timestamps.

optionOS recording bar and Capture Actions menu
While recording, every capture action lives in one menu, each with its shortcut.

The recording bar and the seven targets of the Capture Actions menu.

Capture a screen region when you need to show something visual; the capture lands in the conversation queue — hover for a preview, click to edit.

Preview and edit area of content captured into the conversation
Hover: preview. Click: edit. The bar below shows which agent and voice profile you are talking to.

Preview of captured content inside the conversation, the edit area and agent info.

In the editor the rectangle tool comes pre-selected: say "this part needs fixing", draw a rectangle, and the pause matches the drawing to that exact moment of speech.

Annotation toolbar: rectangle, number and undo
Draw rectangles, drop numbers if you prefer; remove a wrong mark by tapping it or with ⌘Z.

Editor toolbar: pre-selected rectangle tool, number tool and undo.

Drawing and image references in a transcript line
References embed into the flow of speech; a rectangle chip binds to the moment it was drawn, an image chip to the original file.

Type, source and drawing references embedded as chips in the transcript line.

Add Note attaches typed text to that moment of the conversation — use it sparingly, for proper nouns and words the transcriber gets wrong.

Add Note panel open
For special words only; Enter attaches the note.

The Add Note panel; typed text attaches to the speech timeline.

Use Get Text to pull text straight out of an image, and GIF Record to show anything that moves.

GIF recording panel over the selected region
The selected region is recorded; Stop finishes, Cancel discards.

The panel shown while a GIF records: duration, size, stop and cancel.

A short GIF of an agent working
You watch the GIF; the agent receives a frame digest of changed regions instead.

A real GIF captured during the session.

Changed-region frames of the GIF in the panel
Only changed regions become frames — moving objects and changing text are captured one by one.

Changed-region frames produced from the GIF, with the Frames badge.

GIF preview and format selector
Watch the GIF to verify; switch what the agent receives from the selector.

For time-based work, the Speech Context menu marks a start flag (press again to close the range) and Speech Source hands the agent the fully timestamped transcript — it finds the exact second you said "I clicked this and that happened".

Speech Context menu with start marking and speech source
Your speech is data; flags define ranges, the source carries exact time.

Scrolling Capture under Special Capture
A long page becomes one tall image instead of two or three fragments.

Scrolling Capture under Special Capture.

It is all one flow: start with ⌥A, talk, mark what you see, capture motion as GIF, text as text, special words as notes. When the session ends, the agent holds your speech, marks and visuals merged on a single timeline.
