No copy with a third party
The audio stays on your computer. There is no account to hack and no server to subpoena.
Journalism
Protecting sources starts with the transcript
Sending an interview to a transcription service leaves a copy with a third party, who can be compelled to hand it over or have it stolen. For a source who asked for anonymity, that copy is one too many.
What matters to you
Offline in the field
Once the model is loaded, Klarword works without a network: on a train, abroad, on an air-gapped computer.
Subtitles ready to publish
SRT and WebVTT export in 42-character lines, split at spaces, with no overlaps.
Situations
- Interviews with confidential sources
- Long interviews for an investigation or a profile
- Press conferences and debates to quote
- Subtitling videos for publication
Practical advice
- For a sensitive source, work in a browser profile without extensions, with the network off.
- Check every quote by ear: one click on a segment restarts playback at that moment.
- Delete the models and the original file once the story is published, if your protocol requires it.
