Getting Started
Getting Started
Set up Ardela and learn the basics.
Get up and running with Ardela in a few minutes.
What you'll need
- An Ardela account (sign up or accept a workspace invitation)
- A microphone — built-in, headset, or USB mic
- A modern browser — Chrome, Edge, or Safari recommended
- Optional: install the PWA for offline recording
How Ardela is organized
| Area | What it does |
|---|---|
| Home | Quick actions, Clara prompt, recent recordings |
| Recordings | Your dictations and meeting notes — record, edit, export |
| Clara | AI assistant for search, drafting, and recording help |
| Clients | Link recordings to clients and matters |
| Settings | Vocabulary, templates, groups, billing, and security |
Recommended path
- Set up your workspace — vocabulary, templates, and team access
- Record your first note — record → transcribe → generate → export
- Explore recordings guides for list views, uploads, and Clara in the editor
Roles
Your sidebar and permissions depend on your workspace role:
- Members create and manage their own recordings, plus view recordings shared through groups
- Transcribers work from the Queue instead of creating new recordings
- Admins manage workspace settings, members, and can recover stuck recordings
