MayaSo it all started with one question from a listener.

Summary5 lines

A listener's question shaped season two. Two follow-up episodes are planned.

TranslationESDEJA

Todo empezó con una pregunta de una oyente.

  1. Upload or record. 16+ formats from MP3 to MOV, or a YouTube or Vimeo link.
  2. Get the transcript. Every speaker labeled and timestamped. Close the tab while it runs.
  3. Make what you need. A summary or a translation from the same upload.

What's different

  • Speaker labels survive translation.
  • A free plan that never runs out, and top-up hours that never expire.
  • Record on iPhone or Apple Watch, finish on the web.

Make summaries and subtitles from one recording

The web app is where you finish. Play a line back and fix a word, then make what you need from the transcript. Paid plans add meeting minutes and to‑do lists.
