Trace any summary point back to the exact place in the recording.
What is source tracing?
Summaries on Plaud Web include numbered citation markers. Each marker points to the transcript segments that support that summary point, so you can verify a decision, a number, or a quote in seconds.
Before you start
- Markers are generated automatically with the summary. Not every summary point gets a marker: they appear only where a clear supporting segment exists.
How to trace a summary point?
- Click a numbered marker in the summary. A Source card opens next to it, showing the transcript segment that supports that point with its timestamp.
FAQ about source tracing
Do markers stay if I edit the summary?
Markers stay when you edit other text, and you can delete individual markers in the editor if you don't want them.
Do citation markers appear when I share, copy, or export?
No. Markers are removed automatically from shared pages, copied text, and exported files, so your deliverables stay clean.
