Run app in background

I noticed the app stops listening as soon as we open another app or change window on the phone. This is really a pity as often we need to check other info during meetings.
Can we let the app run in background and continue to listen? Maybe add a persistent phone notification to warn the session is running (listening).

Live in version 1.9.3

Background processing is now also live on Android as of version 1.9.3.
In our testing we're definitely still seeing some background terminations, so please don't use this for critical conversations yet.
The speech recognition is very resource intensive, so phones tend to not be happy with that running for long periods of time in the background. If we can't get around the terminations, we might need to only capture audio in the background and pause processing until the app comes back to the foreground.

Record at all times, even when not in app, like most recording apps.

I should be able to leave the app and it's recording everything, so I when go back in it, it hasn't missed a beat. Currently, I leave it stops, then I go in, and it continues recording.

We just published an iOS version of Hedy (1.9.2) that supports background processing. Now you can turn off the screen or use other apps and Hedy will continue to listen to and analyze the conversation in the background.
Since iOS battery management is a black box, I’m looking for some volunteers to stress test background processing on non-critical conversations. I fully expect that iOS will occasionally kill Hedy’s background process. If we can triangulate some of the variables (low battery, certain other apps running, etc) for when that happens, we can possibly preempt it.
Interested? Just update the iOS version of Hedy to version 1.9.2 in the App Store, and start testing! Then please report your feedback on this thread.
(Android version with background processing is still in private testing but will be made public soon as well)

Currently, when I leave the app it stops listening. If I return to the app, it continues. Is there a way Hedy can continue to listen even if the app is in the background?

Or I just need to turn off my phone screen and do all interaction with Hady on the web app. Now I need to leave the phone screen on
