What is Riverside?

Riverside is a recording platform for remote podcasts and video interviews. Each participant records locally on their own device, so the saved file keeps clean audio and high-resolution video instead of depending on a fragile connection. Recordings are transcribed automatically, and a text-based editor lets you cut an interview by deleting words rather than scrubbing a timeline, with short clips and captions produced from the same session. It sits between a bare recorder and a full editing suite, aimed at people who publish conversations regularly.

FAQ

Why does local recording sound better?

Each person's audio is captured on their own machine, so compression, dropouts and unstable Wi-Fi affect the live stream you hear rather than the file that gets saved. The tracks stay clean even if the call stutters.

Do guests need an account?

Usually not. Guests join through a link in the browser, which keeps setup simple. Local recording still requires them to keep the browser tab open for the whole session.

Can I edit inside Riverside?

There is a transcript-based editor for cuts and clip creation, which covers most interview edits. Complex audio repair or multitrack mixing is better handled in a dedicated editor afterwards.
