Hi HN,
I built SpeechText.AI for research interviews. It is a transcription service aimed at researchers and students who record interviews and focus groups.
What it does:
1. Upload audio → get a transcript in minutes
2. Separates speakers and adds timecodes
3. Editable transcript in a browser editor
4. Export to DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT (works with NVivo, Atlas.ti, etc.)
What is different:
Hosted in the EU with GDPR compliance (many research institutions require this); Focus on qualitative research audio (not general dictation or meeting notes); Users keep control over their data: you can delete files permanently; Custom domain-trained models optimized for research terminology and noisy field audio
Happy to answer any questions or hear thoughts on how to make this more useful.
