Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Example. A reporter records a 26-minute street interview in RØDE Reporter as 128 kbps MP3, about 25 MB, and uploads it from the phone. The transcript is back in about a minute, with the best quotes in the summary.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every RØDE Reporter recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
