Markers

Four hours of footage. Know where everything happened.

  • Mark a moment without creating a slice
  • Label chapters, quests and recording days
  • Keep thumbnail ideas tied to the right frame

Perception Engine

Your transcript. Automatically improved.

Transcription turns speech into searchable text. taperat Perception Engine uses diarisation and OCR to fix transcript errors and assign speakers automatically, including names found in subtitles. All on your computer.

  • Search spoken lines at their exact timecodes
  • Use voices and on-screen subtitles together
  • Local processing; analysis jobs run individually
