Record interviews, dictate field notes, capture a reading group — then ask your data anything. CraftNote transcribes verbatim, with timestamps, and makes every recording searchable and quotable.
Used by researchers and academics worldwide
CraftNote works wherever you do. No setup, no friction.
Record a remote interview on Zoom or Teams, capture an in-person session on your phone, dictate field notes on the walk back, or upload an archive recording. However you collect it, your transcript is ready after.
Use CraftNote on your laptop, iPhone, Android, or tablet. Notes sync instantly across everything.
Upload audio, video, or PDFs, or paste a YouTube link. CraftNote extracts the key points for you.
An interview, a focus group, a lecture, a site visit — CraftNote heard all of it. Ask for the theme, the exact quote, the field note, in the form your write-up needs.
Theme: boundary erosion after losing spatial separation. Mechanism: reset through temporal cues (a hard stop) and ritual (leaving the desk). Framing: the participant describes it as effortful and slow — “it took months.”

Quick update after today's session:
Turn any recording into the format your study needs — a clean transcript, coded segments, verbatim quotes, field notes, or a draft abstract. Dozens of templates, one tap.
“I used to spend a full day transcribing each interview before I could even start coding. CraftNote gives me a clean, timestamped transcript the moment we finish — and pulls quotes for the findings section in seconds.”
Record in any language and get your notes in any other. CraftNote detects your language automatically and translates your entire note with one tap.
“My fieldwork is in Portuguese but I write in English. CraftNote transcribes the interview in the original, then gives me an accurate English version with the same timestamps — so I can quote both faithfully.”
Share coded transcripts with co-authors, export clean text for your reference manager or analysis software, or send your supervisor a link — no login required on the other end.
Your recordings and notes are encrypted in transit and at rest on Google Cloud infrastructure. We never sell your data or use it to train AI models.
“Participant confidentiality isn't negotiable for IRB approval. CraftNote states plainly that recordings are encrypted and never sold or used to train AI — that's what let me use it with human-subjects data.”
