Verbato writes a quote bank from the recording of your research interview. A quote bank collects a participant's statements word for word, grouped by theme and marked with their time, ready to cite in a report.
For researchers who need the participant's exact words on hand.
Start with a recording
Your recording is saved for 24 hours. It starts when you create your account.
The transcript excerpt and the document are written to show the format. Every name, figure and quote is invented.

So how do you decide what you can spend in a given week?
I don't plan the month. I look at the number right before I tap.
And if the number surprises you?
If it's lower than I thought, I mean, it depends what's in the basket, I put something back.

End of the illustrative example. Neither the excerpt nor the document was produced by Verbato.
No quote is invented, and none is reworded inside its quotation marks.
Quotes are grouped under theme headings, ready to lift into your report.
The full transcript stays beside the quote bank, for reading any quote in context.
Participants appear by code. The transcript keeps whatever was said.
The sections of your quote bank and the way it is written are yours to change. To fix a document, say what is wrong in your own words.
1You correct it
“Call the section ‘Evidence by theme’.”
That quote bank changes. Nothing else does.
2You say it again
Make the same correction on a later quote bank and Verbato asks: “You've changed this before. Always?”
3You decide
Answer “Always” and it is kept as a rule, applied from your next quote bank on. Answer “Just this once” and nothing is kept. Documents already written stay as they are, and nothing becomes a rule unless you confirm it.
4Your rules
I call the “Quotes by theme” section “Evidence by theme”.Undo
Every rule you have kept is listed, and you can undo any of them. An undone rule stops applying from your next quote bank.
Upload a file, paste a link, record in your browser, or send a voice note by Telegram or email. Verbato makes a word-for-word transcript, which you can edit and which stays beside the document. Your quote bank is written from it, in minutes.
A recording made in your browser can run up to 30 min on every plan; a longer session goes in as a file you upload. A free account takes recordings of up to 40 min each; for longer ones, see pricing.
Deleted after 7 days by default, together with its transcript and documents. You can keep a project longer, up to your plan's limit. Deleting a recording leaves a receipt you can download. Nothing you record is used to train or improve AI models.
