Good questions.
Your own words.
Something worth sharing.
For founders, specialists and creators who know their subject but find a blank camera hard to face. We designed and built the path from source material to reviewed questions, a recorded conversation and finished clips—including the accounts, storage and workers behind it.

The product journey
The material is yours.
The next step is clear.
A useful interview starts before the camera turns on. REC gives the speaker a chance to correct the research, then keeps their original recording at the centre of the edit.
- Bring the context
Add notes, links or text extracted from documents. Choose supplied material or permitted public-web research. Links supplied as references are kept distinct from pages actually retrieved.
- Review the questions
Inspect the research, sources and uncertainties. Correct the identity or brief, exclude a source and regenerate. Confirm the current research and conversation plan before recording.
- Have the conversation
Record camera or screen with a prompt near the lens. Browser transcription is a separate choice. Local recovery data and explicit retry steps help protect an unfinished take.
- Make the edit
Audition suggested moments against the recording. Adjust trims, title, crop and appearance, approve a moment, then render and download it. Optional precise captions are generated from saved audio.
Designing a path through the product
The same illustrated objects move from source material to a question, a speaker and a selected passage. Scroll through the story or choose a chapter.

A FICTIONAL STORY
Meet Hannah.
She built a photo app that hides the pictures until morning. She wants to talk about why she made it, and what happened when her friends tried it.
WEBSITE INTERACTION DEMO
One conversation.
Make it your own.
The application lets a speaker shape each approved moment. This separate website demo explores six illustrative treatments with a fictional speaker and an AI-generated still; these controls do not render video. Choose a control to hold your version.

Less interface.
More conversation.
A question sits close to the camera so the speaker can glance at it without losing their train of thought. Prompt size, backdrop and self-preview stay in their control.

Approval belongs to a version
Changing a source can change the questions. REC tracks research revisions and binds confirmation to the exact dossier and plan the speaker reviewed. A new revision needs a new review, so an old approval cannot silently authorize new material.
Long jobs outlive a page request
Research, interview preparation and transcription run through a durable queue with leases and retry handling. Recording upload, transcript saving and highlight extraction have separate states. A failed highlight job does not turn a saved recording into a failed take.
The edit stays close to the source
The browser editor renders approved trims, layouts and captions with FFmpeg, then checks the output. Draft settings can be restored locally; rendered files are temporary until downloaded. This supports deliberate editing without promising a cloud library of finished exports.
Aran Labs also built authenticated session APIs, ownership checks, signed recording access, account suspension and deletion paths, and subscription checkout, portal and webhook handling. When billing is enforced, lapsed subscribers can read existing work while new work is restricted. These controls support the recording experience rather than appearing as extra steps in every session.
Browser transcription depends on browser support and consent; precise transcription uses a configured worker. The illustrations and styling controls on this page are labelled demonstrations, separate from the application editor.
Research prepares. People decide.
A path from what you know
to what you want to say.
REC is built by Aran Labs: research and review, recording, media processing and the editor, with a visual language that keeps the speaker’s choices in view. The demonstrations above use a fictional story and synthetic imagery.
