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.
