Fast, accurate transcription with complete source protection. You control what data goes where. Meet tight deadlines while keeping sensitive interviews confidential.

Journalism Transcription Challenges

🔍

Source Protection Risk

Cloud-based services expose sensitive interviews to potential data breaches, government surveillance, and subpoenas. Your sources' safety depends on true confidentiality.

Deadline Pressure

Breaking news doesn't wait for slow transcription services. Upload delays, processing queues, and format issues cost precious time in competitive news cycles.

💰

Per-Minute Costs

Traditional services charge per minute, making long interviews expensive. Freelance journalists and small newsrooms struggle with unpredictable transcription budgets.

🎯

Accuracy Issues

Generic transcription services miss journalism terminology, proper nouns, and context. Time spent correcting transcripts reduces time for actual reporting.
