FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does One Rec work without internet?
Yes, for recording, editing, captions and export. Captions need a one-time model download first, between about 140 MB and 1.1 GB. Share links, live streaming and cloud AI need a connection.
Which caption model should I download before going offline?
Fast (about 140 MB) is the quickest, Accurate (about 1.1 GB) the most accurate, and Balanced (about 510 MB) sits between them. Each model downloads the first time you use it, so generate captions once while you're online.
