Debrief
Use cases / Researchers
Interviews,
transcribed offline.
UX researchers, journalists, and academics interview people who trusted them with their words. MeetingDebrief transcribes those interviews on your own computer, in more than 50 languages, and keeps a searchable record of the whole study.
The problem
Transcription is the slowest part of research.
An hour of interview takes several hours to transcribe by hand. Paying a service to do it means uploading recordings of people who agreed to talk to you, not to a vendor.
Then the transcripts sit in separate documents, and finding the quote you remember takes longer than it should.
How it works for you
Record or import the interview
Record remote interviews from any call app, in-person sessions with just the microphone, or drop in files from a recorder or phone: MP3, WAV, M4A, and more.
Get a transcript you can correct
Transcripts are produced on your machine, with timestamps and Me or Other labels. Fix a misheard word in place and MeetingDebrief offers to remember the correction.
Analyze and write it up
Ask each interview questions with cited answers, search across all of them, and dictate your observations into your notes or draft as they occur to you.
What you get
50+ languages
Automatic language detection for meetings and imports. When detection guesses wrong, re-transcribe with the language forced.
Audio file import
Bring recordings from other devices and apps. They are converted, transcribed, and summarized like any other session.
Editable transcripts
Correct any line in place. Edits are saved, searchable, and written through to the Markdown export.
Vocabulary
Names, places, and field-specific terms, taught once. Let MeetingDebrief suggest terms it found in an interview.
Search every interview
Find a quote across a whole study. Tags and folders keep projects and participants apart.
Sources stay on your device
Audio and transcripts are processed and stored locally, and everything works offline after setup. Useful when participants were promised discretion.
A transcript with timestamps you can trust.
Click a line to hear it. Speaker labels separate your questions from the answers when you record both sides of a call.
Teach it the words your field uses.
Vocabulary primes the transcriber, corrects saved transcripts, and explains your terms to the model that writes summaries and answers questions.
