Record live with the desktop app or mobile app, or upload a file, free to start on web, desktop, mobile, and the Chrome extension.
Built for interviews
Find quotes in minutes
Get a timestamped transcript fast, then search for the exact phrase so you can drop an accurate, attributed quote into your work without scrubbing the audio.
Speaker labels for every voice
Speaker diarization separates interviewer and subjects automatically, and you can rename speakers so a multi-person interview reads cleanly.
Translate other-language sources
Transcribe interviews in 100+ languages and translate to English, so a source who speaks another language is just as usable for your work.
Search across every interview
Ask AI questions across all your interviews to find where a theme, name, or claim came up, which is invaluable for long projects and investigations.
Keep sensitive interviews private
On the desktop app, offline Local Mode transcribes recordings on your own machine, so confidential interview audio is never sent to any third-party service.
