Riverside vs Tapesearch

Every participant records locally on their own device, capturing up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed audio in separate tracks that stay sharp regardless of connection quality.

Edit video by editing the transcript — search, cut, copy, and paste words and the footage updates. AI then removes filler words and silences or fixes eye contact in one click.

Turn a finished session into promotional assets: short clips optimized for each platform, thumbnails, headlines, show notes, transcripts, and translations or dubs in over 30 languages.

Broadcast in full HD 1080p to unlimited destinations simultaneously, or host webinars with registration, branded emails, Q&A, live call-ins, polls, and HubSpot lead capture.

Search a database of over 5 million podcast transcripts and jump directly to the precise timestamp in the audio where a phrase was spoken.

Ask natural-language questions across multiple episodes and get synthesized answers drawn from thousands of hours of conversation.

Get email or in-app alerts within hours when tracked keywords, brands, or topics appear in newly published episodes.

Access search and transcript-download endpoints with up to 2,000 requests per day, plus a hosted MCP server for AI assistants.
