Yourstory,finished.
Edit audio and talking-head video through the words. Polish the sound. Keep every take private.
From raw take to ready.
One private, transcript-first workflow for spoken audio and single-camera video.
Bring the take
Open audio or a single-camera MOV, MP4, or M4V.
Transcribe locally
Parakeet turns speech into timestamped words on your Mac.
Edit by crossing out
Remove a word and the synchronized media follows.
Finish or hand off
Render finished media or an editable Premiere Pro or Resolve timeline.
Audio + talking head
Edit recordings and single-camera video from the same transcript-first workflow.
Picture stays in sync
Preview transcript cuts against video, then render a finished MOV when you are ready.
Timelines stay flexible
Send extendable source-linked edits to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with polished audio attached.
Dial in the delivery. Poet handles the chain.
Choose the destination, keep the processing conservative, and see every decision before export.
Your media never leaves your Mac.
Models download only when you choose. Audio, video, edits, transcripts, previews, and renders stay local.
100% local
Nothing is uploaded. Everything runs on your machine.
Private by design
No accounts, no cloud, no data collection.
Open source
Transparent, auditable, and community built.
