# Pairing codes

## What are recorder pairing codes?

Pairing codes let a Speak AI native recorder app on a device connect to a specific recorder you have created in your account. When pairing codes are enabled, each new recorder you create automatically receives a unique 6-digit code. You enter that code in the native app to link it to the correct recorder and folder.

## Enabling pairing codes in your account

1. Click your avatar or name and go to **Account Preferences** (path: `/profile/preferences`).
1. Find the **Recorder Pairing Codes** section.
1. Toggle the switch on. The preference saves automatically.

Once the toggle is on, any recorder you create from that point forward will have a pairing code generated for it automatically.

## Finding the pairing code for a recorder

1. Open the recorder from the **Recorders** list.
1. Go to the **Share** tab.
1. Scroll to the **Pair a Device** section. The 6-digit code is displayed in large monospace text.
1. Click **Copy** to copy it to your clipboard, then enter it in the native recorder app on your device.

If no code is shown yet, click **Generate Pairing Code** to create one.

## Rotating a pairing code

Click **Generate New Code** in the Pair a Device section. A confirmation dialog warns you that the current code will be invalidated, any device already paired will need to enter the new code to re-pair. Confirm to proceed.

## Recorders created before the toggle was enabled

Recorders created before you turned on Recorder Pairing Codes will not have a code automatically. Open the recorder, go to the Share tab, and click **Generate Pairing Code** to add one.

The fastest way to reach us is the live chat in the app (the chat bubble in the bottom corner). You can also email [success@speakai.co](mailto:success@speakai.co).
