The problem it solves

You've got voice memos, call recordings, or interview clips that need to become text before anyone can search, share, or act on them. Transcribing them by hand is slow and easy to put off. Left untranscribed, useful information just sits in an audio file nobody revisits.

Who it fits

Teams that record voice notes, calls, or interviews and need them turned into searchable text.

How it works

  1. Reads an audio file from your storage
  2. Sends the audio to a speech-to-text service
  3. Waits for the transcription to complete
  4. Returns the written text of what was said
What you get

Recordings turned to text without replaying them

Your recorded audio clips come back as written transcripts, ready for you to search, share, or file away.

What you get

A text transcript of the audio clip.

What you need

A Wit.ai account with an API access token.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
