Hours of interview, one quote on deadline.
Scrubbing through audio at midnight to find a single sentence is the worst part of the job. We give you a clean transcript with every speaker named, every quote searchable to the exact second.
No credit card. No watermark.
“I have three hours of interview, a deadline tomorrow, and the sentence I need is somewhere in the middle.”
— Every working reporter, ever.
Find the quote. Cite the second.
Most interview transcripts read like a transcription of speech: every umm, every false start, every “I — I mean”, every “you know” preserved. Citation-grade prose means the words a source actually said, edited to remove disfluencies but not meaning. The names stay; the quote reads cleanly.
Every interview you’ve ever done lives as searchable text. The half-remembered phrase from a six-month-old conversation is one query away — with the speaker, the context, and the second it was said.
Built for the way interviews actually unfold.
Named speakers
No “Speaker 1, Speaker 2”. We use the names people say on the call, or the names you supply at upload.
Multi-hour single-pass
Eight-hour all-hands? One file in, one transcript out. No splitting, no stitching, no missed seam.
Polished prose
We strip the umms, the false starts, and the repeats. The meaning stays. The noise goes.
Citation-grade polish
No umms in the quote. No false starts. The transcript reads the way your editor expects it to.
An interview archive that pays back.
Search a 90-minute interview for one phrase. Find it, cite the timestamp, pull the line.
Multiple sessions with one source, all searchable as one corpus.
Every interview you’ve ever done, as a searchable archive.
Files stay yours. Delete from your dashboard at any time. No training on your audio, ever.
