A: Hi there — great questions, happy to clarify:

🎧 Recording Hours Can’t Be Reset by Deleting
Once recording or transcription minutes are used, they count toward your total plan limit — deleting files later won’t reset the counter.
You can manage recording behavior in your bot settings:

- Record all meetings,
- Record only external meetings,
- Or turn recording off entirely and trigger it manually.
We track usage in minutes, not hours.

📝 Do You Need to Record to Transcribe?
Not at all! You can also upload audio or video files manually, and Skarbe will transcribe them for you automatically.
Perfect if you're using other tools or have call recordings you want analyzed.

Let me know if you want help trying it out — always happy to support!
