Find the interview in the recording

An hour of conversation usually holds twenty good minutes. Paraphrase transcribes all of it with a timestamp on every word, so you can read for the answers worth keeping and cut the rest straight from the text.

Why Paraphrase?

The words are already a map of the recording. Editing them is faster than finding each one in a waveform.

Paraphrase

Read an hour of conversation in a fraction of the time
Cut a whole tangent with a click and a shift-click
One button proposes the filler and repetition to cut
Any cut can be put back, word by word
Cuts always land between words, never in the middle of one

Editing the waveform

Finding a quote means listening for it
Notes and timestamps kept by hand beside the audio
Every um and false start cut individually
Moving an answer means cutting and pasting regions of waveform
Undoing an old edit means redoing the work

Built for conversations

For the twenty good minutes inside an hour of talking.

Upload the recording

Bring in the file from your recorder or your call, in most audio and video formats.

Several sessions, one project

Add each session as a take and edit them as one transcript.

Clean up with AI

One button reads the transcript and proposes the cut: filled pauses, false starts and the sentence you said twice. It shows you what it took, and you can put back any word it removed.

Undo and redo

Ctrl+Z steps back through your edits and Ctrl+Shift+Z steps forward again.

Export the way you publish

WAV or FLAC keep every sample of a lossless master. MP3, M4A and Opus are there for publishing.

Never used for training

Your recordings and transcripts are never used to train any model, ours or anybody else's.

Record something and cut it
