Merge Sessions
Combine two separate Hedy sessions into one comprehensive transcript with merged audio and AI-powered insights.
What is Merge Sessions?
The Merge Sessions feature allows you to combine two separate recording sessions into a single, unified session. This is perfect for meetings that were accidentally split, multi-part conversations, or when you want to analyze related discussions together. Hedy intelligently merges the transcripts, audio files, and generates new AI insights for the combined content.
Getting Started
Open the Hedy app and navigate to any session transcript
On mobile: Tap the three dots menu (⋮) in the top right
On desktop: Click the merge icon in the toolbar or use the menu
Select "Merge Sessions" from the options
Choose two sessions you want to combine
Configure the merged session settings
Tap "Merge Sessions" to complete the process
How It Works
Hedy's merge feature intelligently combines your selected sessions while preserving all important information:
Transcript Combination: Both transcripts are merged chronologically with a clear "[Session Break]" marker between them
Audio Merging: Audio files are combined with a 2-second gap for clarity (native apps only)
Smart Ordering: Sessions are automatically arranged by their recording time
AI Reprocessing: The merged session gets new AI-generated title, summary, and insights based on the combined content
Configuration Options
When merging sessions, you can customize:
Meeting Type: Select the appropriate meeting category for better AI analysis
Session Context: Choose relevant context or select "None" for general sessions
Topic Assignment: Organize the merged session under an existing topic or leave unassigned
Best Practices
Merge sessions from the same meeting or related discussions for most coherent results
Review both sessions before merging to ensure they belong together
Choose appropriate meeting type and context for better AI insights
The original sessions remain unchanged - you can always refer back to them
Platform Differences
iOS/Android/macOS/Windows: Full feature support including audio merging
Web Version: Text-only merging (audio files cannot be combined on web)
Desktop Apps: Direct merge button in toolbar for quicker access
Troubleshooting
I can't access the merge feature
Merge Sessions is a premium feature - upgrade your subscription to access it
Ensure you have at least two completed sessions to merge
Sessions currently being recorded cannot be merged
The merge process seems stuck
Large sessions may take longer to process - please be patient
Check your internet connection for AI processing
Try merging smaller sessions first to test
Audio is missing in my merged session
Web version only merges transcripts, not audio files
Check if the original sessions had audio recordings
Ensure sufficient storage space on your device
Pro tip: Merged sessions are marked with a special suffix in their title, making them easy to identify in your session list. The original sessions remain untouched, so you never lose your source recordings.
