Find the Line Without Rereading the Whole Transcript
You remember that a participant said something sharp about trust, or about the move, or about their manager. You do not remember which interview, and rereading every transcript to find one sentence takes an afternoon.
Upload the recordings and ask. ScreenApp answers from the transcript with the quote, the speaker and the time, and gives you the moment to play back. You still decide what the quote means. A quote you cite should always be checked against the audio first.
Quote With Context
Ask for what was said about a topic and get the words, not only a summary.
Speaker and Time
Each answer points to who spoke and where in the recording it happens.
Play the Moment
In ScreenApp, clicking a moment in the transcript jumps the player to that point in the recording.
One Interview or Many
ScreenApp has one AI chat that searches and answers from every recording in your library, or a single folder.
How It Finds Quotes
It reads the transcript
The AI works from the transcript text, so it finds what was said, including words you would not have searched for.
It points to the source
Every answer has a moment in the recording. That moment is how you verify the quote before it goes into a report.
What You Get Back
An example of the shape of an answer to the question “What did participants say about leaving?”
The speakers, quotes and times in this table are made up for the example, and real results depend on your recording.
| Time | Speaker | Quote | Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:40 | P03 | ”I stayed two years longer than I wanted to.” | Verify |
| 31:05 | P03 | ”Nobody ever asked me why I was unhappy.” | Verify |
| 08:22 | P07 | ”It was the commute, honestly, nothing more.” | Paraphrase? |

To see how several participants answered the same question, try comparing answers across interviews.
