Documentary interviews transcribed on the device, with timecode
Record the interview, read it back as text while the subject is still in the chair, and hand the edit a transcript whose every line has a timecode. Nothing is uploaded.
A documentary is cut from what people said, and the edit starts by reading it. D-REC writes the transcript live, with a timecode on every line, so a paper edit can begin the same day and each chosen sentence already points at its frame.
Tap any line and the audio plays from that sentence. Spin the reel or lean on the rocker to scrub like tape. The subject's words never leave the device: no upload, no service, no copy anywhere but the machine you recorded on.
Chapters seal every five minutes with a title and a recap, so a ninety-minute interview reads as a list of moments. Search finds a phrase across every stored session.
Export the CSV with time-of-day and from-the-slate columns, the Markdown with every chapter's read, the text, the audio itself, and markers for DaVinci Resolve.
OPEN D‑RECQuestions people ask
Can I record a long interview?
Takes as long as the day with Pro; ten minutes on the free deck.
Does the subject's audio go to a server?
No. Recognition runs on the device and nothing recorded is uploaded, which is the promise the whole product is built on.
Can I sync it to the camera?
Type the slate's timecode at the start and every line counts from it.
