What should I know about OneMira C1?

Frequently asked questions

What is OneMira C1?

OneMira C1 is a subscription-free AI voice recorder and note taker for conversations, meetings, interviews, and everyday ideas. C1 captures speech while OneMira Desktop transcribes on your computer in real time and can generate meeting notes and mind maps with its built-in local model. You choose whether to retain the original audio. You can also connect model services with your own API key or use compatible third-party agents through CLI and MCP. An external agent is optional.

Who is OneMira C1 for, and when is it not the right fit?

C1 is for people who want useful notes from meetings, interviews, conversations, and spoken ideas, with dedicated capture and control over their audio and AI processing. You can generate results in OneMira Desktop without being a developer or using an external agent. Choose a simpler workflow if your phone already meets your needs or you do not want to use a computer for transcription and AI generation.

Why use dedicated hardware instead of a phone app or meeting bot?

Dedicated hardware keeps capture separate from your phone, browser tab, and meeting platform. C1 can stay available for long desk sessions without tying up your phone or adding a bot to the room, while its visible turntable motion gives people a physical cue that recording is active.

Where are my notes and audio stored, and does anything go to the cloud?

Your notes are saved as editable files on your computer. In OneMira Settings, you choose whether to keep the original recording. Transcription runs locally, and the included AI can create meeting notes and mind maps offline after setup. If you choose a cloud model, a model on your local network or an outside AI agent, the content you send follows that service’s data terms.

Is there a monthly fee or a transcription-minute quota?

No OneMira subscription is required for C1 recording, local transcription, or local files, and local transcription is not metered by minutes. Generating meeting notes and mind maps with the built-in local model does not require an external AI subscription. Actual use is still constrained by your computer, storage, and battery. Optional third-party models or hosted endpoints may have their own limits and fees.

Does C1 need internet or Wi-Fi?

C1 has no Wi-Fi. It connects to a supported computer over Bluetooth or USB-C. After the required software and models are installed, transcription and meeting-note or mind-map generation with the built-in local model can run offline on your computer. Initial downloads need internet access. A cloud model needs a connection to its provider; a local-network model needs access to its host.

How do my AI tools use C1 notes?

Choose the path that suits you: generate meeting notes and mind maps with OneMira Desktop's built-in local model, connect model services from nearly all major official providers and platforms using your own API key, or continue in a compatible agent such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor through CLI or MCP. The local path works independently after the required software and model downloads. Optional remote services use their own credentials, data terms, limits, and fees.

Can C1 or a connected AI change my project files?

C1 itself does not reach into your repository or edit project files. A connected AI agent can only read or change files within the access and permissions you give that agent; you decide what context to disclose and what proposed changes to review or accept.

Can I use C1 across multiple computers or agents?

Yes. Like a Bluetooth speaker or headset, C1 can be connected to only one computer at a time. While connected, C1 and that computer sync data in both directions in real time. When you disconnect C1 and pair it with another computer, OneMira prompts you to run an initial sync. After that first sync, C1 and the newly connected computer continue to sync bidirectionally in real time. Agents on the active computer can use that computer's local context through files, CLI, or MCP.

Can C1 capture online calls while I wear headphones?

Yes, on supported computers and with the documented setup. C1 can combine your nearby voice with far-end audio from supported calls without occupying the computer's microphone or audio inputs. Far-end capture on Mac requires macOS 14.2 or later and the documented Core Audio process-tap setup.

How well does C1 capture voices, and how large a room can it cover?

Two MEMS microphones, an on-chip neural engine, and hardware noise cancellation help keep nearby voices clear, while local processing can label speakers in the transcript. The effective pickup range is about 5 m. Place C1 within that range of the speakers you want to capture. Results depend on distance, background noise, overlapping speech, and room acoustics.

How do I start recording, and can C1 record away from my computer?

Press once to record, or schedule a start and stop time. C1 keeps recording when you’re away from your computer, holding the audio in encrypted storage until you reconnect and transfer it for local transcription.

How long do the battery and storage last?

The 1250mAh battery provides up to 30 hours of continuous recording and up to 90 days of standby. C1 includes 32 GB of persistent context storage, enough for 10+ years of typical context use. This is a text-context estimate, not a guarantee of audio-recording capacity. You choose whether to retain original audio in Settings, and retained recordings use storage separately.

Which systems and connections does C1 support?

C1 supports macOS 12 or later and Windows 10 or later. It connects over Bluetooth 5.4 (LE Audio) or USB-C and has no Wi-Fi.

How many languages does C1 support?

C1 supports speech transcription in 99 languages, covering most widely spoken languages and many regional languages. Availability and accuracy can vary by language, accent, speaker, and recording conditions.

Do I need consent to record?

Recording laws vary by location and situation, so you are responsible for checking and obtaining any consent the law requires. The safest practical default is to tell participants before capture begins and get their agreement; seek qualified legal advice when the rule is unclear.

Is C1 GDPR- or HIPAA-compliant?

C1 alone does not make a workflow GDPR- or HIPAA-compliant. Local transcription can reduce transfer to a vendor-operated transcription cloud, but compliance still depends on consent, retention, access controls, your computer environment, organization, jurisdiction, and any third-party AI service you use. For hardware wireless compliance, C1 is certified under FCC ID: 2BXIX-C1.

Where does OneMira ship, and how long does delivery take?

Available shipping methods, rates, and applicable taxes are shown at checkout. Delivery estimates can be affected by carrier logistics, customs clearance, weather, or remote destinations.
