Your audio.
Under the knife.
Edit audio by editing text.
Turn a recording into an editable transcript.
Pick the take to keep, reword a phrase, tighten pauses, and export a cleaner cut. Your files stay on your device.
Version 2026.09.28: retake review that finds real restarts, phrase reword, a new recorder, project rename and optional vim motions. See the release notes for details.
Record naturally
A live waveform and a zoned level meter show your gain before the take. Pause, resume, and keep every take until you choose.
Export your way
Export WAV, MP3, transcript text, EDL, or Final Cut XML. Your audio stays on your computer.
Reword without re-recording
Select a phrase and rewrite it. The audio and its timing stay exactly as spoken; the edit is marked and reversible.
Vim motions, if you want them
Turn them on in Settings: h j k l, sentence and paragraph motions, visual selection, d, c and r operators, counts, undo and redo.
Windows and macOS
Native installers built by the release workflow, and a source tree that runs on Linux with Python, Node and FFmpeg.
