# Notes

### Notes Overview

The Notes page is your central hub for managing all your recorded notes. Here's what you can do:

#### Viewing Your Notes

* Each note displays its title and creation date
* Notes are organized chronologically with the most recent at the top
* Status indicators show you exactly where each note is in the process:
  * **Pending** (Orange): Note is queued for processing
  * **Processing** (Blue): Initial processing of your recording
  * **Transcribing** (Pink): Your audio is being converted to text
  * **Summarizing** (Purple): The AI is creating a summary
  * **Completed** (Green): Note is ready for viewing
  * **Failed** (Red): There was an issue processing the note

I'll create just the recording/uploading section that you can copy and paste into the help document.
