Notes

Voice transcribing notes and exporting notes as issues requires a Pro license. You can learn more about our paid features and start a free trial within Arkio to try this.

You can add notes to your geometry or frames in your scene. These notes behave like other Arkio geometry and imported shapes, which can be glued onto the surfaces of other shapes. 

Notes are sized according to your placement scale and can be scaled to other sizes using the edit tool (grab the corners with the controller in VR). Notes will always scale proportionally, ensuring their content remains undistorted.

You can add ownership information to a note and change the color of a note by selecting the different colors at the top of the note. When exporting issues, these colors will be used to indicate their priority, see below. Notes are great for capturing ideas, issues, or feedback, or simply for adding instructions for others viewing your scene.

Navigate between notes

All notes are visible in the Review panel, and from there you can jump to each note. You can filter the categories to only show saved viewpoints, Notes, and Frames placed in the Arkio scene. When you are the meeting host, you can guide other users through the notes in your scene by selecting the auto-follow mode in the meeting panel.

Voice transcription

You can speak the text you want to add to a note by selecting the microphone icon in the top-right corner of a note. When done, stop speaking or select the mic icon again, and your voice will be transcribed and added to the note. Arkio's voice transcription supports multiple languages, allowing you to discuss and document issues in your native language. 

Multilingual

Notes in Arkio can contain multiple languages. Based on the voice transcription of your recognized spoken text, the input field of the notes can contain various languages and character sets. We currently support the following character sets in Arkio notes and file names: Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hebrew.

Export notes as issues

All Notes added to your Arkio scene can be exported as a shareable issues webpage and a BCF from the file manager using a cloud-connected device. 

After the export, you can open your Arkio cloud page cloud.arkio.is/issues to find an overview of all scenes with issues that have been exported. You can learn more about working with your issue and exporting your results to BCF on this page.
