GRAPHIC RECORDING

Graphic recording is the real-time translation of conversations or presentations into text and pictures. Rio does three things live:

  • Listens to everything that's being said

  • Synthesizes themes, connections and key quotes

  • Documents the conversation using words and images (which is the part you actually see!)

How graphic recording works

Graphic recording includes:

  1. Rio’s expert presence in the room, distilling and illustrating the main ideas and information shared by speakers, facilitators, and participants

  2. Graphics shared as high-resolution PNG files

  3. Bonus 30-second timelapse video of each graphic

Scenes from the before-times

Rio began graphic recording on giant sheets of paper in 2019. She also had much cooler hair back then.
