Why teams hand their recordings to Subanana

Not a feature list — the things that decide whether a transcript is usable without listening again.

A transcript you can read, not decode

  • Speakers separatedEvery line carries who said it, identified automatically.
  • Punctuation and paragraphsRestored automatically, so the text reads as prose — not as one unbroken wall.
  • Tidied textFiller words are cleaned away while the meaning stays untouched.
  • Ask the transcriptQuestion the recording in the editor and get answers grounded in what was said.

Accuracy that is engineered, not promised

  • The best model per languageModels are benchmarked continuously; each file goes to the top performer for its language.
  • Hallucination detectionSuspect output is caught and re-processed by another engine before it reaches you.
  • Your terms, spelled your wayPin names, products and jargon in a glossary that applies across your projects.
  • Propose-and-confirm fixesAI proofreading suggests corrections for misheard words; nothing changes until you approve.

One transcript becomes subtitles, show notes and quotable lines, ready for every platform you publish on.

Interviews

Quotes must be verbatim and attributed to the right speaker — and ready well before the deadline lands.

Lectures

Students & educators

Long recordings arrive summarized and searchable, so revision starts at the point that actually matters.
