Recording and notes on set, with the time on every line
Markers and a transcript with the time on every line, recorded on the device, with no audio uploaded from a closed set.
A closed set is closed for legal and commercial reasons. Uploading the audio of an unreleased production to a transcription service usually needs someone in legal to agree, and often it is simply not allowed.
D-REC records and transcribes on the device and sends no recording anywhere, so it can be used where cloud tools are ruled out.
The wheel scrubs like tape. Markers drop at the playhead with one key. Chapters break a long recording into parts you can scan, and every line has its time, so a note points at a moment instead of describing one.
It runs on a laptop or on a phone, and it exports markers for the edit, so what was noticed on the day stays attached to the frame it happened on.
Consent and clearance stay with the production, as they always have.

Questions people ask
Can this be used on a closed set?
Nothing you record is uploaded, so no third party receives the material. Whether a production allows any recording device is the production's decision.
Does it export into an edit?
Yes, as timeline markers for DaVinci Resolve, plus text, Markdown and CSV.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Transcription runs on the device, so no signal is fine.
