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 rather than a third-party AI service, and review the notes that matter with spaced repetition. Recordings stay private unless shared.
What the demo shows: 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 the review queue shows the note; tapping it plays 23:10 again.
Why
How it helps
Transcribe on our servers
Opt in per recording. The audio never goes to a third-party AI service; 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
A spaced-repetition queue resurfaces the notes you enrolled, each playing its moment.
How it works
Three steps
- Upload the recording.
- Transcribe it, or not.
- 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?
On our own worker with an open-source model. The audio is never sent to a third-party AI 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 and can never download it.
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.
