Field notes
The page accepts spoken or typed dates, with examples including D-Day, the moon landing, a birthday in 1955, and a country-specific query such as “March 1965 in Brazil.” It presents controls for mixed media, footage-only or photo-only playback, captions, MP4 export, credits, and sharing. The privacy notice says speech recognition runs in the browser and the requested date—not the voice—is sent; an account is offered for timelines and fresh sessions.
