Reserve a chat room in advance

1. Open ONYAKU and log in to it.
   
   
2. Click [Create]
   
   
   
3. Select [Your language (the language you speak in the meeting)], enter [Your name (the name displayed in the chat room )], select [Transcript engine], and then click [Start].
   
   
   
4. Confirm that the chat room screen is rightly displayed as shown below.
   
   
   
5. Click the [Mute] icon (Blue pictograph of a microphone with a slant line over it ) to activate your microphone so that ONYAKU starts its speech-to-text transcription - the activated microphone icon is displayed in yellow green.
   • If you get the dialogue window as shown below, click [Allow].
      
     
     
   • A gray microphone icon with a slant line over it indicates that the system is in the process of network connection or you have reached the upper limit of ONYAKU use (or your contract has expired). If this status persists, please check the network you are using and the use duration under the contract.
     
     
     
   • In the chat room, you can type in text messages as well.
     Please refer to [How to type in texts] for detail.
     
     
   • As for the translation function, please refer to [How to use translation function].

   • For the way of downloading the chat history, please refer to [How to download log data of the said comments and their translations in a CSV format].
     
     
   • If your default settings done at the commencement of your contract do not include auto-log recording function, please make sure that you manually download the log data (in a CSV file) before closing the chat room as you cannot download the log data once the chat session is closed.

     If you do not need to download the log data, click [OK].

If you have not subscribed to the "Save History Data" option, you cannot download the history after exiting, so please be careful.
