VoLog FAQ for TTRPG games

VoLog helps TTRPG players and game masters enjoy the game without spending it taking notes, then revisit what happened.

On Discord, VoLog sends you the short recap of the game and a transcript link. If you already have an audio file, you can create a Session directly.

VoLog is for TTRPG game masters, players, table chroniclers, and groups who want to reconstruct a game without starting from scratch after play.

It is especially useful if you play regularly, reread campaigns between games, or want to quickly find a character, location, or unresolved thread from an earlier game.

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 clear Session afterward.

Yes. If you already have an audio file, add it in VoLog to create a Session.

VoLog currently accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, WEBM, and OGG files.

The file can be up to 1 GiB and 8 hours long.

Processing time mainly depends on the file length and current workload. A long game naturally takes longer than a short audio file.

VoLog shows progress. Once the story of the game is ready, you review it before starting the remaining content.

You review the story of the game first. After you approve it, VoLog prepares the Session summary, Session report, Highlights, and the characters, locations, items, spells, and powers found in the game.

The Session page brings together everything prepared from your game.

You get the story of the game, Session summary, reading variants, Highlights, characters, and other useful information in one place, so you can reread the game or prepare what comes next.

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.

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.

The free trial includes your first Session, plus 50 VoLog Credits when you sign up.

You can then continue at your own pace with a subscription or a pack if you need more volume.

100 VoLog Credits cover 1 hour of audio. A Session's cost therefore depends on the audio length.

For other actions, the required number of credits is always shown before you confirm.

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.

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.

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.

Audio files are deleted as soon as processing is complete.

The transcript and your Session content remain available.

No. VoLog uses Umami to measure aggregate traffic without setting cookies.

These statistics are not used for targeted advertising or cross-site tracking. Your notes, Sessions, and campaigns are never sent to Umami.

No. Someone in the voice channel runs /volog start, and the bot publicly shows that audio capture is running.

The person who started VoLog only signs in when they open the transcript link received after the game.

The person who starts VoLog receives the short recap of the game and a transcript link by direct message. The message also shows the duration, participant count, and the characters, locations, items, and spells spotted.

Other people in the voice channel can request only the short recap of the game.

You can then turn the game into a Session. Your first one is free.

VoLog can capture audio on Discord for up to 6 hours.

If no usable speech is received for 15 minutes, the bot stops recording. This prevents silent capture from continuing after everyone forgets about it.

Preparation begins after /volog stop. The time depends on the game length and current workload.

When it is ready, the person who started VoLog receives a direct message.

Open the link received by direct message. The transcript then remains available in VoLog with the same Discord account.

On Discord, VoLog can match speech to participants and show speaking time when the information is reliable enough.

With an added file, the transcript remains continuous: VoLog cannot reliably know who is speaking.
