What Craig is

Craig is a Discord voice-channel recording bot that creates a separate audio track for each speaker. Recordings can be downloaded as FLAC or MPEG-4 AAC, or opened as Audacity projects or Adobe Audition sessions. Participants can also record through a browser webapp, which captures audio outside Discord and adds it to the same recording. Craig records voice only, so it cannot capture sound or video from livestreams. The free plan allows recordings up to six hours, and those recordings expire after seven days. Paid tiers add longer storage and options such as cloud backup, extra bots, auto-recording, and transcription; Tier 3 transcripts are available in WebVTT, SRT, or plain text. Supporters can arrange automatic uploads to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box. Craig marks recording by adding [RECORDING] to its nickname and will not record if it cannot change the nickname. Anyone with a recording URL can download it, so the person starting a recording is responsible for protecting that link. The free plan is available, paid plans start at $1 a month, and community support is available through Discord.
