The Omi device (necklace form factor) is a wearable smart microphone that connects to your phone and app to capture your day.

Activate Omi with the button / tap

  • Power on: press the device once. If you see a light or feel a small buzz, it’s on.

  • Talk to Omi:

    • Just talk and it’ll record and create conversations automatically

    • You can also tap and hold the device, speak and release when done. Omi app will answer and start a chat + notification.

Light and status basics

  • Red – device on but not connected to the app.

  • Orange / light red – charging.

  • Blue – connected to the Omi app and ready to record.

Tips for noisy environments

  • Keep the device facing outward and not rubbing on clothes or hair.

  • In very loud places, speak a bit closer to the device and enunciate clearly.

Using Omi at home, school, work and outside

  • At home: use it to capture ideas, personal notes and conversations with family.

  • At school/work: record meetings, classes, stand-ups and hallway conversations instead of taking manual notes.

  • Outside: capture quick thoughts, walks, errands and calls (when recording is allowed).

Make sure you always follow local laws and get consent from participants where required before recording.
