From interview notes to published story

🎙️

Interview Notes

Dictate notes during or after interviews. AI polishing organizes your thoughts into clean, structured notes with proper grammar and flow.

Transcribe Quotes

Read back quotes from your recordings and get clean, properly attributed text. AI polishing ensures proper formatting.

Journalist-Friendly Features

Works in WordPress, Google Docs, and any CMS

Customize your polishing prompt to preserve direct quotes. The AI removes fillers and fixes grammar without changing the meaning or attribution of quoted material.

Custom dictionary for source names

Add source names, publication names, and technical terms. OpenTypeless transcribes them correctly — no more manually fixing "Smith" vs "Smyth".

Offline mode for sensitive sources

Use Ollama locally for both STT and LLM polishing. Your audio never leaves your machine — important when working with confidential sources.
