Free tools for recordings, meetings, subtitles and talks: audio, video and meeting recording to text converters, video, YouTube, lecture, podcast and text summarizers, a subtitle generator with step-by-step pages for 20 apps from YouTube to Premiere Pro, subtitle converters (SCC and EBU STL included), a subtitle shifter, merger and editor, a YouTube transcript cleaner, audio converters, audio editors (trim, cut, split, join, compress, boost and speed up), video converters and editors (compress, trim, remove the sound, add subtitles), voice, sound, screen and webcam recorders, mic, webcam, speaker and headphone tests, a typing test, a teleprompter, a speech timer, word and reading time counters, and fourteen meeting template builders, from minutes and agendas to stand-ups, retrospectives and status reports. Each one works as soon as the page opens, with no sign-up and nothing to install, and all but the screen recorder work on phones too.
The converters, the audio and video editors, the subtitle tools, the recorders, the device tests, the typing and text tools and the builders run entirely in your browser, so nothing you drop, paste or record is uploaded: the same idea as NoteOwl, which keeps your meetings on your Mac. The transcription tools send short pieces of a recording’s sound to be transcribed, the translators and summarizers, and the minutes builder when it writes minutes from a transcript, send the text to be translated or summarized, and nothing is stored.
