Research with AI. Sources stay in-house.
Interviews, background conversations, archives and unpublished manuscripts: in newsrooms and publishing houses, much of it is confidential, and some of it protects sources. kayetana helps you transcribe, search and organize, on your own server.

Transcribe interviews without uploading them.
Upload recordings as MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF or FLAC up to 100 MB. kayetana transcribes them with Whisper large-v3-turbo, complete with timestamps. You can find a quote in the recording quickly, and the conversation stays on your server.
- Timestamps to jump back in
- Selectable language
- Also via API with transcribe
