Recordly

Recordly makes long interviews manageable with annotations and transcripts of your recordings.

A journalist, on average, spends 6 HOURS / WEEK transcribing, which slows down the reporting process and decreases productivity.

Automating transcription can help reporters save up to 2 business MONTHS a year. With Recordly, bloggers, reporters, and media organizations can spend this time to produce more stories.

What do media professionals use now?

* Default voice recording apps on their phone that only record audio.

* Voice recorders - old-fashioned, hard to integrate into a digital ecosystem, requiring additional cost.

* Commercial services $60-140/hour for situations when the deadlines are tight.

* Interns - inefficient, as staff reporters still need to peruse the audio to review the transcription.
