Studio-quality podcast and video recording, editing, and publishing in your browser
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.

Accurate audio and video transcription, with an API for developers
Upload audio or video by file, link or live browser recording. Vatis accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC and OGG audio plus MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV and WebM video, and typically returns a 1-hour file in under a minute.
Interviews, meetings and podcasts get automatic speaker labels, extracts of key quotes, chapter markers and a summarised version of the recording, all generated from the same transcript.
The asynchronous Speech-to-Text endpoint supports payloads of any length and returns diarization and word-level timestamps. Every new account gets €10 of credit for building against the API.
Turn a transcript into subtitles or captions in another language without leaving the platform, and export timed files as SRT or VTT for video workflows.
