VoLog FAQ
Everything you need to know to start from a session recording and get a clear, readable, shareable session.
Understand VoLog
What VoLog is for, who it is for, and how it fits the way you play.
What is VoLog?
VoLog helps you turn a game recording into a ready-to-use session.
You start from a recording, then get a clear session inside VoLog that you can review, enrich, or share, with a session note, summary, report, and the key elements already structured.
Who is VoLog for?
VoLog is for GMs, table chroniclers, and groups who want to reconstruct a session without starting from scratch after play.
It is especially useful if you play regularly, reread campaigns between sessions, or want to quickly find a character, location, or unresolved thread from an earlier game.
Do I need to change the way I play to use it?
No. VoLog is not there to force a method on you or make you type during play.
You play as usual, record if that fits your table, then let VoLog give you back a structured session afterward.
Create from audio
Local import or Discord recording, processing time, and what comes back inside VoLog.
Do I need Discord?
No. Discord is an option, not a requirement.
You can import your own audio file into VoLog, or start from a Discord recording if your table already plays in voice chat. In both cases, the main workflow stays the same: create a session from audio.
Which audio formats can I import?
VoLog currently accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, WEBM, and OGG files.
If your table records somewhere other than Discord, you can still reuse a standard audio export without changing your setup.
How long does session creation take?
A few minutes are usually enough, depending on the length of the audio and the current workload.
Once the audio is uploaded, VoLog automatically chains transcription, session analysis, and preparation of the useful content inside your workspace.
What do I get after analysis?
You get a structured VoLog session, not just transcribed audio.
Depending on the content of the game, VoLog prepares a session note, summary, report, highlights, plus detected characters, locations, items, spells, and skills.
Review, search, share
The Session page, VoLog Search, and read-only public sharing.
What does a VoLog session contain?
The Session page is VoLog’s main hub.
You get the complete note, summary, reading variants, highlights, characters, and the other extracted elements in one place, so you can reread the game or prepare what comes next.
Can I find a character, location, or unresolved thread later?
Yes. VoLog Search is there to help you retrieve what already exists in your content without rereading everything.
Search relies only on your sessions, campaigns, and related elements. If a detail does not exist in your content, VoLog should say so instead of inventing it.
Can I share a campaign or a session?
Yes. Your content stays private by default, then you can enable public campaign or session sharing if you want to show it.
The public link gives access to a read-only page. You can revoke it at any time to cut access immediately.
Pricing & VoLog Credits
Free trial, audio volume, subscriptions, and one-off packs.
What is included in the free trial?
The free trial includes your first audio analysis free, no matter how long the recording is, plus 50 VoLog Credits when you sign up.
The goal is to let you test a real audio workflow first, then continue at your own pace with a subscription or a pack if you need more volume.
How do VoLog Credits work?
The central rule is simple: 100 VoLog Credits = 1 hour of audio.
The “Create from audio” workflow therefore uses a volume proportional to the duration being analyzed. Some extras also use a fixed price: 10 credits for a reading variant, 35 for a session illustration, and 25 for a character avatar.
What is the difference between a subscription and a pack?
A subscription adds monthly VoLog Credits for regular usage. A pack is better when you only need to top up your balance once in a while.
You can therefore use a subscription if you process audio sessions often, then add a pack when you hit a temporary peak or need to cover one extra long session.
Do features change depending on the plan?
No. The same features remain available across the public plans. Only the amount of credits changes.
You are therefore not choosing between a “limited” and a “full” version of VoLog, but between different usage volumes depending on how often your table plays.
Privacy & control
What stays private, how audio is retained, and the minimal audience measurement in place.
Is my content private by default?
Yes. Your sessions, campaigns, and content stay private until you enable public sharing.
If you share a campaign or session, only that public page becomes visible in read-only mode. You stay in control of what remains private and what can be shown.
What happens to audio files?
Audio files are not kept longer than necessary.
They are deleted as soon as a usable transcription has been produced. If that is not yet possible, deletion happens no later than 45 days after capture.
Does VoLog track my activity for advertising?
No. VoLog only uses minimal audience measurement to understand which pages are visited and improve the service.
That tracking is not used to read your content, analyze your campaigns, or run targeted advertising. URLs are anonymized before measurement.
Discord, if your table uses it
A smooth option for groups that already record voice sessions.
How does a session work with the VoLog bot?
One person starts the recording in the voice channel, then a visible message informs participants that a capture is running.
Once the audio is available, it can be reused inside VoLog to create a session from audio, exactly like a file you imported manually.
Do participants still have a choice?
Yes. No one should be recorded without clear information and without the ability to refuse.
Discord remains an optional VoLog workflow. If your table does not want recorded voice chat, you can simply start from another audio file or skip that entry point altogether.
