83 Sciences Companion
Help at the bench
Record the details while your experiment is happening, then find them in your lab's notebook on your computer.
How do I sign in?
Use the email and password for your account at platform.83sciences.ai. The companion connects to that platform automatically. You need a lab membership to capture research. If you belong to more than one lab, choose the lab you are working in.
Where do my voice notes go?
After you allow sync and AI processing, your recordings appear in the same Voice Notes library on the web platform. Audio, photos, observations, and transcripts stay together. Review suggested notebook destinations and drafts before applying them to an entry.
How do I record an experiment?
Open Capture and choose a quick voice note or an experiment session. Pause to review the transcript while continuing the experiment. You can collapse the transcript, add an observation, or take a photo. Finish recording when the recording is complete; start another session when you need a new capture.
Can I lock the screen or work offline?
An active recording can continue with the screen locked, up to one hour per recording. Interruptions such as phone calls can stop the microphone; return to the app to check its state and resume when ready. Recordings are saved locally when offline. Keep the app open with a connection to finish uploading and processing after recording.
Why is my transcript still processing?
Transcription needs a connection and permission to sync and use AI. Check Account and the recording's status, then retry when connected. Processing can take longer for long recordings. An uploaded original and a completed transcript are separate stages. Keep the app and its data until your originals have synced.
How do I change my privacy choices?
Open Account to stop or allow further sync and AI processing, or to open the privacy policy. Microphone and camera permissions are controlled in your phone's Settings. Stopping processing does not erase already uploaded research or cancel work the server has already received.
How do I delete my account?
Open Account → Delete account, enter your current password, and confirm. If other lab members would be left without an owner, transfer lab ownership on the web first. Sign-in identity is removed, while lab-owned research and audit history remain. This device's unsynced originals for the deleted account are removed after confirmation. See the privacy policy for details or contact us for assistance.
