  1. Record the page. A real browser tab. The capture controls stay beside your work.
  2. Draw attention to the detail. Draw directly on the webpage. Your annotations become part of the video.
  3. Mark the moment. Keep a timestamp for the detail you want to revisit.
  4. Collect the source image. Select an image on the page and add it to this recording’s collection.
  5. Save the page context. Add a page snapshot to the same session before you stop.
  6. Replay what you pointed out. The saved recording includes the ink, with your marked moment below it.
  7. Find the original asset. The collected image stays attached to its moment in the recording.
  8. Keep the useful part. Set a precise range, add a clip, and export the part you need.

The recording is
just the beginning.

Go from a long explanation to the part someone actually needs. The original recording stays intact.

Drop your camera footage and separate audio into one browser editor. They load as independent tracks, ready to line up, trim and make into something worth sharing.

Projects save in this browser. Keep a project backup to move your edit to another device.

  3. Match shared audio
  4. Shape the edit

Start together. Stay in control.
Matching audio lines up automatically by default. Uncertain matches and files without usable shared audio stay editable where they loaded. Undo alignment keeps your files.
Edit with the words beside you.
Transcribe a source, find a passage and preview a cut. Correct caption text without rewriting the original transcript, then export SRT or VTT captions.
Suggestions you get to hear and see.
Ask AI for cuts, short highlights or possible low-frequency audio repairs. Preview the proposal, check it in context and choose what to apply.
Take the useful part with you.
Export your edit as WebM video or audio. Make a WAV mix from supported sources for selections up to 60 seconds. Originals stay intact.

Local editing does not upload your files. Requested transcription sends selected audio; AI requests send transcript text or audio measurements. Import and analysis controls explain the limits before you start.

Frequently asked questions

What is tautau?

tautau is a growing suite of text-to-xyz tools for working with AI. Turn words into notes, tasks and bug reports, dictate into web text fields, transcribe audio, and shape recordings into useful edits. The web tools and Chrome extension are available now; mobile companions are rolling out.

What does tautau mean?

Say it in two halves: tau, tau. T-T. That is short for text to, which is what every tool in the suite does: speech to text, text to notes, text to tasks, and more on the way.

What’s in the tautau suite?

Speech to text, text to speech, screen recording, transcription, notes, tasks, bug reporting and team workspaces are live. Studio is in Preview. iPhone and Apple Watch companions are rolling out. Text to image is still in the lab.

Which websites does it work on?

Virtually all of them. Gmail, Notion, Jira, Google Docs, LinkedIn, support portals, even ancient government forms — if the page has a text input, textarea, or rich-text editor, tautau can dictate into it.

Is tautau free?

Yes — you can dictate for free with daily limits, and record up to 25 minutes of screen video a month (500 MB total storage), no card required. The Base plan ($3/month) raises dictation to 200 minutes a month and recordings to 300 minutes with 5 GB of storage. Pro covers heavy daily use.

Can it record my screen?

Yes. Record a Chrome tab with tab audio, or choose a window or screen and narrate with your microphone. Draw on a recorded tab, then review its transcript and assemble clips in the editor. Organisation recordings start private; owners can enable public sharing.

Can I edit separate video and audio files?

Yes. Studio Preview loads your files as independent tracks. Matching audio lines up automatically by default; uncertain matches stay editable where they loaded. Trim and mix your edit, work from a transcript, review AI suggestions and export WebM or a WAV mix from supported sources. Projects save in this browser, so keep a project backup. Requested transcription and AI analysis use server services; their controls explain what is sent.

Can I ask questions about a recording?

Yes. Open Chat beside the transcript to ask for a summary or find what was said. Answers use the recording transcript and can include timestamps you can jump to. Check important details against the original recording.

Are the iPhone and Apple Watch apps available?

The mobile companions are rolling out. The screens here show the current apps, with voice capture, notes and to-dos. The Chrome extension and web workspace are available now.

Can my team share recordings privately?

Yes. Create an organisation, invite people with a link and assign owner, admin, member or viewer roles. Workspace captures start private. Teams and Enterprise plans have shared allowances and seat limits; paid plans are arranged with an administrator.

Is my audio or text stored?

Anonymous dictations are never stored. Signed-in users get an optional history with audio replay that lives in private per-user storage and can be deleted item-by-item or wiped entirely at any time. Audio is sent to the transcription provider only to produce text.

How does tautau help with accessibility?

tautau makes the whole web usable hands-free. For people with RSI, motor impairments, dyslexia, or a temporary injury, typing can be slow or painful — dictation turns any form into a short conversation, with no special hardware beyond a microphone.

Which speech engine does it use?

Dictation runs on state-of-the-art hosted speech models — xAI Grok STT with automatic failover to Groq and OpenAI Whisper — for fast, accurate transcripts in multiple languages.

Your next idea is worth keeping.

Start with free dictation and 25 minutes of screen recording a month. No credit card required.
