What they are

SquadCast

SquadCast is a browser-based remote recording platform that captures separate, high-quality audio and video tracks from each participant locally, then uploads them progressively to the cloud. Podcasters and video creators use it to record remote interviews without the audio degradation of Zoom or phone calls. The progressive upload feature protects recordings from connection drops, which is a genuine differentiator, though storage limits on lower tiers can be a friction point for high-volume producers.

Sonix

Sonix is an automated transcription service that converts audio and video files into text using AI, then lets you search, edit, and export transcripts in multiple formats. Journalists, podcasters, researchers, and video producers use it to speed up post-production workflows. Transcription accuracy is solid for clear audio but drops noticeably with heavy accents or poor recording conditions. There is no free tier, so you pay from the first minute.
