Notes on the moment, and a transcript you can keep private.

ReplayTake lets a student or researcher annotate a lecture or interview recording at the exact moment, get a searchable transcript produced on our own servers — the audio never leaves them; only a drafted summary sends transcript text to our cloud provider’s inference service — and bring back the notes that matter with Recall, its spaced repetition. Recordings stay private unless shared.

Press n at the moment: the recording pauses, you type, and the note lands on that second.

In practice: A 55-minute interview is uploaded and transcribed. The transcript pane scrolls with playback; searching “consent” jumps to 23:10. The researcher presses n: “Participant reframes consent as trust — code: trust.” A week later Recall brings the note back; tapping it plays 23:10 again.

Why

How it helps

Transcribe on our servers

Opt in per recording. The audio never leaves our own servers; the text is searchable next to your notes.

Code at the moment

Tags on timestamped notes, ranges for passages, export to Markdown for your write-up.

Remember what mattered

Recall, a spaced-repetition queue, resurfaces the notes you add to it, each playing its moment.

How it works

Three steps

  1. Upload the recording.
  2. Transcribe it, or not.
  3. Note and tag at the moment; export when you write.

When it's not for you. If you need a full qualitative-analysis suite with codebooks and inter-rater statistics, this is lighter than that.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Where does transcription run?

The basic transcript runs on our own worker with an open-source model and the accurate one on a GPU we rent by the hour; the audio never leaves our servers. Only the optional drafted notes send transcript text — never audio — to our cloud provider’s inference service.

Can I export the transcript?

Yes, as SRT or VTT, and your notes as Markdown.

Are my recordings private?

Yes, unless you share them. Viewers stream from your copy through short-lived links; there is no download.

How many minutes can I transcribe?

60 a month free, 600 on Plus.

Can I annotate a lecture on YouTube?

Yes, by pasting the link; transcription needs an uploaded file.
