CES is a frantic time of year for laptop and computer brands the world over, and there’s no doubt that it can be a challenge to stand out.

You can pick a custom keyboard shortcut, and you can decide to simply press that shortcut instead of pressing and holding it. You can also choose which microphone you want to use and whether there should be audio feedback at the beginning and end of recording.
