Recap Usage Scenarios:
Recap is great for transcribing podcasts, interviews, voice notes, webinars, conference presentations, keynote lectures, conventions, and providing a succinct recap of your company meetings. Every transcript can be exported to DOCX and TXT, with timestamps optionally included, and you can generate closed-caption files in the WebVTT and SRT file formats for uploading into video players.

You can share the original media file or a converted FLAC file directly from the Recap app, and copy and paste your transcript using your phone's clipboard.

Recap will notify you via email when your transcript has finished processing.

Automated Transcriptions:
Recap’s highly trained speech recognition model can detect and transcribe 137 dialects and language variants! Recap makes it possible to achieve transcriptioning and captioning for a global audience.
 
Recap Translations:
Translations can be edited and exported just as readily as the original transcripts. Subtitles, or foreign language closed-caption files, can be generated through Recap at a fraction of the typical cost of human-provided translations.
 
Audio Playback:
Listen to and edit the transcripts at a speed that’s comfortable for you. When you tap on a specific paragraph in the transcript, the audio will jump to that location.  Paragraphs in the transcript viewer will scroll automatically as the audio is playing, and will highlight what is currently being spoken, making it easy to follow along and edit the text as needed.

Security and Privacy:
Recap supports screen blurring and biometric authentication for secure switching between apps.
 
Recap’s Mission:
Recap was founded with the goal of increasing the availability of and opportunities for people to read and better understand the spoken word. Many individuals learn best from visually seeing a textual representation of what is being spoken. Others are blind, deaf, hard-of-hearing, or otherwise impaired, and may require extra accommodations to obtain the same information that is so often taken for granted by those who do not experience these struggles. Still others prefer to dictate over manually writing down information. What each of these groups have in common is a desire to understand, record, share, relate to, and experience the spoken word in their own native language. Recap was developed to assist these individuals in this quest.

Accessibility Benefits:
Recap’s transcription and captioning services helps organizations, universities and other entities with their accessibility guidelines by providing aurally delivered material in an auto-generated written format to persons who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or using or speaking in a non-native language.

Our team is excited to hear about your success stories with Recap. Feel free to reach out and share the app with your friends! Follow us on social media @RecapEveryWord
