Field notes
The workflow begins by choosing a meeting window, with a focus-area option for cases where the app needs guidance. The page says it reads displayed pixels rather than using meeting-platform APIs, and that notes are neither stored in the cloud nor retained after the browser page is refreshed or closed. Defining a selected word is optional and requires confirmation before opening Wiktionary.
