What should I know about OneMira C1?
Frequently asked questions
What is OneMira C1?
OneMira C1 is an 85 g sandblasted aluminum wireless pocket AI voice recorder and note taker. It transcribes in 99 languages, live or later, and automatically organizes your conversations, people, projects and decisions across meetings into notes, mind maps and a living knowledge base with zero subscription fees.
How can C1 fit into my day?
Press the center button once to capture in-person meetings, client interviews, lectures, online calls—even while wearing AirPods or Bluetooth headphones without a meeting bot—or ideas on the go. Engineers, consultants, executives and researchers can generate summaries, decisions, action items and client commitments offline with built-in local AI, plug in an API key (including Google Gemini, OpenAI and Anthropic), or bring spoken context directly into ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor via Mira CLI.
Why use C1 instead of recording on my phone?
C1 keeps your phone in your pocket without call interruptions, and gives recording a dedicated one-press control with a quiet rotating turntable. Unlike cloud-bound card recorders that upload your private audio to their cloud and charge monthly minute plans after a 300-minute cap, OneMira runs live transcription and built-in offline AI with zero monthly fees, no meeting bot, and automatic organization across meetings so notes never pile up in a drawer.
Is there a subscription or a monthly minute limit?
No. Local transcription in 99 languages, built-in offline AI, cross-meeting organization and access to your local files are included with $0 monthly fees, no 300-minute monthly cap and no forced cloud uploads. Practical capacity depends on battery, storage and your computer. Optional third-party AI services have their own fees and limits.
What do I need to use C1?
Use OneMira Desktop on a Mac (macOS 12 or later) or a Windows computer (Windows 10 or Windows 11) for transcription, speaker labeling and AI notes. Running the AI on your computer instead of a thin phone app is what keeps transcription 100% offline with $0 monthly subscription fees. C1 connects by Bluetooth 5.4 (LE Audio) or USB-C, and has no Wi-Fi or headphone jack. OneMira Desktop does not require a OneMira account.
Can I record without my computer nearby?
Yes. Press the center button once to start recording (the turntable rotates quietly while active) and press once again to stop, or schedule a start and stop time. C1 records standalone onto 32 GB of onboard encrypted storage for up to 30 hours on a charge—no live phone or computer connection needed while recording. When you're back at your desk, reconnect over Bluetooth 5.4 or USB-C to transfer recordings to your Mac or Windows computer for local transcription and AI summaries.
Where do you ship and when will my C1 arrive?
OneMira ships C1 to the United States and other supported countries. Estimated delivery is 1–3 days in the United States and 3–5 days for other supported destinations. Available shipping methods, rates and taxes collected by OneMira are shown at checkout. For international deliveries, applicable customs duties, VAT and import tariffs are the recipient's responsibility unless checkout specifies otherwise. Carrier logistics, customs clearance, weather and remote destinations can affect delivery estimates.
Can I return my C1?
You may request a return within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the purchase price. C1 must be in good, functional condition, with its original packaging, cable, accessories and documentation. Email dtc@onemira.com with your order number for return authorization, then ship the product within 14 days of receiving the instructions. You pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect. After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
Where are my notes and recordings stored?
Your transcripts, summaries and Wiki notes are stored directly on your computer as open, editable Markdown (.md) files—never uploaded to a shared OneMira cloud workspace. You choose in Settings whether to keep the original recordings as standard stereo .WAV files on your computer, with direct USB-C or Bluetooth transfer and no subscription required to access or export your files. Content you actively choose to send to an optional cloud model, local-network model or external agent follows that service's data terms.
Can I use OneMira offline?
Yes. After the one-time software and model downloads, speech transcription, speaker labeling and built-in AI generation (notes, action items and mind maps) run 100% offline on your Mac or Windows computer—even with Wi-Fi turned off and with no OneMira account required. Those initial downloads need internet access. Optional cloud models need a provider connection; local-network models need access to their host.
How well does C1 pick up voices?
Place C1 within about 5 m of the speakers—such as on a desk or conference table for 2–4 people in a room, or beside a laptop speaker. Two MEMS microphones, an on-chip neural engine and hardware noise cancellation help capture clear voices, while local processing automatically separates and labels different speakers in the transcript. Results depend on distance, background noise, overlapping speech and room acoustics.
Can I record online calls while wearing headphones?
Yes, on supported computers and with the documented setup. Whether you are on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Slack Huddles—even while wearing AirPods or Bluetooth headphones—C1 can combine your nearby voice with far-end call audio without sending an awkward bot into the meeting or occupying your computer's microphone or audio inputs. On Mac, far-end capture requires macOS 14.2 or later and the documented Core Audio process-tap setup.
How long do the battery and storage last?
The 1250mAh lithium battery (2x–4x larger than typical 300–500mAh phone-card recorders) provides up to 30 hours of continuous recording, up to 90 days of standby, and fast ~2-hour USB-C charging. C1 includes 32 GB of persistent context storage, enough for 10+ years of typical context use. That estimate applies to text context, not audio-recording capacity. You choose whether to retain original stereo WAV audio in Settings, and retained recordings use storage separately.
Which languages can OneMira transcribe?
OneMira transcribes speech in 99 languages—including English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi—with local speaker labeling. Availability and accuracy can vary by language, accent, speaker and recording conditions.
Can I use my own AI tools or model provider?
Yes. Use your own API key with model services from nearly all major official providers and platforms—including Google Gemini, OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), DeepSeek, OpenRouter and local Ollama / LM Studio—or let compatible agents such as ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor work directly with your meeting context through Mira CLI or MCP. These are optional; Desktop's built-in local AI works independently offline after setup. External services have their own credentials, data terms, limits and fees.
Can I use C1 with more than one computer?
Yes. C1 connects to one computer at a time and syncs in both directions in real time. Complete the initial sync requested by OneMira when you switch computers. Agents on the active computer use its local context through files, CLI or MCP.
Who controls what a connected AI can access or change?
You do. C1 itself does not open your repository or edit project files. A connected AI agent works within the access and permissions you give it. You choose what context to share and which proposed changes to review or accept.
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.
What warranty comes with C1?
OneMira C1 includes a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects, starting on the delivery date. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents or unauthorized modification. To start a claim, email dtc@onemira.com with your order number and a description of the issue.
