Configure Apps
Confer allows you to set prompt defaults at a per app level. To adjust the settings of Confer for an app, go to the Apps view, and click "Add App". Select the app you want to configure, and the settings will appear in the right sidebar.
Prompt defaults
You may set default prompts for Anchor Mode and Quick Transcription. Once a default is set for an app, using that mode while you are in the app will send the transcription through the selected prompt.
Session mode uses the Anchor Mode prompt default for the current app. If you move into another configured app during a session, Confer can update the selected prompt to match that app.
Prevent auto pasting
You may also prevent auto pasting in apps you configure. This is useful if you have a long recording that's being processed. You may want to switch between apps without needing to worry if the transcription will automatically paste in a random app. It's recommended you configure apps like this that are part of your workflow. Preventing auto paste will always show the transcription in View mode if you are in an app that has the setting enabled.
