Ethics
Nothing retained
Audio is streamed for transcription and never stored on our servers — a one-line data-handling story that ethics committees and participants can actually understand.
Verbatim transcripts, while the session is still running.
Interviews, ethnographic sessions, user research — transcribed as they happen, so the gap between fieldwork and analysis is minutes, not a week of typing.
- Speaker-labelled, as you speak
- Holds up in a loud room
- Audio is never kept after a session
Transcription is the bottleneck of qualitative work
An hour of audio is famously four to six hours of typing, and outsourcing it means another consent hurdle, a budget line, and a wait. Meanwhile the detail you remember about session three fades before the transcript arrives.
Transcribing live closes that gap: you leave the session with the verbatim text already done, and your field notes can point at timestamps instead of paraphrases.
What you get
Used by academic researchers, UX researchers and evaluation teams.
Coding
Timestamps on every line
Line-level timestamps mean your codes can reference the exact moment, and checking a quote against the audio is a click, not a scrub.
Fidelity
Verbatim, not summarised
You get what was said, attributed to who said it — no AI paraphrase deciding what mattered before you’ve done the analysis.
Questions
Is this suitable for ethics-approved research?
The data-handling is simple to describe: audio is relayed for transcription during the session and never stored afterwards; only the transcript remains, and it stays yours. Check the specifics against your protocol — the privacy policy states exactly what is processed.
Does it produce verbatim transcripts?
Yes — the transcript is what was said, speaker by speaker, not a summary. Cleaning up false starts is your editorial call, made in your copy of the text.
Can participants who mix languages be transcribed?
Mixed-language speech is one of the things the underlying model is built for, and it’s a common reality of field interviews. Errors still cluster at language switches, so review those passages.
