Field notes
The page describes a local browser workflow rather than a conventional upload service: a model is downloaded once, then audio is processed on the user's machine, with the site offering a network-disconnection check. Its example follows a 12-minute-40-second interview through playback-linked editing, speaker naming, uncertain-word review, Word export, and SRT/WebVTT subtitle output. The homepage says the models weigh several hundred megabytes and recommends a desktop computer.
