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.
Turn any recording into searchable, reusable text
Paste a YouTube video or playlist link, or upload local video and audio files, and receive timed text in one flow.
Timed passages let you search a phrase and jump straight back to the moment it was spoken, so wording can be verified against the source.
Optional speaker separation keeps multi-person interviews and panels attributable to the right person.
Generate topic chapters, executive notes, translated text, shareable outlines, conversation maps, and recall cards from a single transcript.
