recorded

The word “recorded” means captured and stored in some permanent form, such as audio, video, or writing. In plain terms, already captured and saved rather than happening live.

“Recorded” is pronounced rih-KAW-dihd (/ɹəˈkɔɹdɪd/ in IPA).

Here is “recorded” used in a sentence: “The show aired live, not recorded.”

“Recorded” is an adjective.

“Recorded” is a fairly common word in modern English.

'Recorded' means captured and stored beforehand, so it can be played back later exactly as it happened. 'Live' means happening in real time, as you watch or listen. A recorded show is fixed and repeatable; a live one unfolds in the moment and cannot be paused or replayed at the source.

It means the sound or images have been captured and saved to a permanent format — a file, disc, or tape — so they can be stored, copied, and replayed. Recorded music is produced in advance rather than played live, which lets it be edited, shared, and listened to at any time.

A song saved as an audio file, a match filmed for later broadcast, a meeting captured on video, or a decision written into official minutes are all recorded. The key idea is that the moment has been fixed in some lasting form — audio, video, or writing — rather than left to memory.
