Studio-quality recording, editing, and live streaming, right from your phone. Riverside turns your phone into a portable studio for conversations and talking head videos. Record crisp video and audio anywhere, polish it on the spot, go live to your audience, and turn the best bits into posts, without a laptop or a production team. Whether you're creating a podcast, a YouTube channel, a personal brand, or content for your business, this is where it gets made. RECORD ANYWHERE, IN STUDIO QUALITY Record solo, bring on a remote guest, or go audio-only. Riverside captures every track locally, so your quality stays sharp even when your connection doesn't. A built-in stabilizer keeps your shot steady, and your footage uploads in the background as you record, so it's ready to edit and clip the moment you stop. CLIPS FOR SOCIAL, MADE FOR YOU Knowing what to post is hard. Making it is harder. Riverside's AI does both. It finds your most engaging moments, then cuts them, frames them, and adds the captions. You get the best clips from every recording, ready to publish with a tap. EDIT WITH A PROMPT Describe your edit, and Riverside's AI agent makes it. No timeline. No pinching and dragging clips around on a small screen. Tell it which parts to cut and keep, ask it to clean up audio and remove filler words, or add captions and branding. It's the fastest route from raw recording to ready to post, and when you want more control, your project is waiting for you in the Riverside desktop editor. TURN ONE RECORDING INTO A CONTENT ENGINE WITH AI Riverside's AI agent takes a single recording and makes the rest for you: social clips, a thumbnail, captions, a blog post, full show notes. Just ask. LIVE STREAM TO EVERYWHERE AT ONCE Go live and multistream to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, TikTok, and custom RTMP destinations at the same time — one session, every audience. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Started a recording or an edit on your computer? Open it on your phone, watch it back, and leave comments waiting for you when you're back at your desk. Already a Riverside desktop user? The app carries your work with you, so your studio isn't stuck at one location. A SECOND CAMERA IN YOUR POCKET Recording on desktop? Add your phone as a second angle and capture an extra video track for your edit. BUILT FOR CREATORS OF EVERY KIND Podcasters, YouTubers, personal brands, and marketing teams — anyone who wants studio-quality content without the studio.

About

Echo_Me

Features
Read full description

EchoMe turns what you already say into ready-to-post content that actually sounds like you, not like a robot wrote it. Start from a video, a YouTube or article link, a voice note, or just a topic. EchoMe pulls the best moments, cuts captioned clips, and writes posts for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, and more, all matched to how you actually talk. HOW IT WORKS 1. Feed your Knowledge Base. Add past videos, posts, and links. EchoMe reads your existing work and builds a voice profile from it, so there is nothing to script and no prompt to write. 2. Start however you want. Record a video, pick one from your library, paste a link, tap out a topic, or leave a voice note. 3. Get a full content kit. In minutes you get short-form clips with synced captions, posts for every platform you use, carousel slides ready to download, and a full transcript. 4. Publish or schedule. Connect your accounts and post straight from EchoMe, schedule it on the calendar, or export to your camera roll and share anywhere. WHAT YOU GET Voice-matched writing. Every post is scored against your voice profile before you ever see it. Your signature phrases, your rhythm, your vocabulary. Voice Profile and Knowledge Base. Watch your voice strength grow as you add material, with a breakdown of exactly what is driving the score. Smart clip extraction. AI finds the moments worth cutting, then tracks the speaker so you stay in frame in vertical crops. Word-level captions. Multiple styles and positions, editable line by line before export. Scheduling and auto-posting. A real calendar, direct publishing to connected accounts, and reminders for the platforms that do not allow automated posts. Teleprompter. Read your generated script back to camera at your own pace, with on-device speech tracking that scrolls as you speak. Creator Radar. Follow creators you admire and repurpose the ideas into your own voice. Multiple voices. Manage more than one voice profile and pick which one writes, useful for teams and anyone running a second brand. Export at 720p, 1080p, or 4K. Split-screen and single-view layouts. Dark mode native throughout. WHO IT IS FOR Creators who already have video but no time to repurpose it. Founders and consultants who talk better than they write. Real estate agents, coaches, and anyone building a personal brand. Teams managing several voices across platforms. Built for people who already have a body of work. EchoMe reads it, learns your voice, and generates new work that sounds like it came from you.
