Cantonese and English interviews

Notes you can check.

An interview recording goes in. A timestamped transcript comes out, with a summary, key points and action items where every single point shows the moment it came from.

3 hours of audio free, no card. Upload only — nothing joins your calls.

An illustration of a Recolio result page. A summary card states that the base salary was set at HK$45,000 and that the sign-on bonus is still waiting on HR, with each statement followed by the transcript timestamp it came from, and two key points below it carrying timestamps of their own. An action items table lists two tasks, one of which shows "not specified" where no owner or due date was said aloud. Below that, a transcript panel shows timestamped segments labelled Speaker 1 and Speaker 2, in mixed Cantonese and English, one of them carrying a low confidence badge.

How it works

Four steps, and you can close the tab during the slow one.

  1. 01

    Upload a recording

    Choose a file of up to 2 hours and 1 GB. MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AAC, WEBM and more. Nothing joins your call and nothing needs to be installed.

  2. 02

    Read the transcript

    Timestamped segments in the language that was actually spoken, with anonymous speaker labels wherever the speech engine separated the voices.

  3. 03

    Check the summary

    A summary, key points and action items. Each one carries the timestamps it came from, and an owner or a date appears only if somebody said it aloud.

  4. 04

    Download the notes

    TXT, DOCX and JSON, all written from the same stored result, so the file you send a colleague says what the screen said.

Languages

Built for Cantonese and English, including both at once.

A Hong Kong interview rarely stays in one language for a whole sentence, let alone a whole hour. Recolio is set up for that case rather than for one language at a time.

Language identification
Azure AI Speech is given Cantonese and English as candidates and picks between them phrase by phrase, so a sentence that starts in one and finishes in the other survives intact.
Speaker labels
Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. Anonymous on purpose: Recolio separates voices, it does not work out whose they are.
Timestamps
Every segment carries its position in the recording, which is what makes a citation something you can act on rather than read.
Original-language quotes
The transcript keeps the words as spoken. The summary can be written in English or Traditional Chinese and is labelled with which, so a translation is never mistaken for a quote.

Grounding

A summary is a claim. This one comes with the evidence.

Every key point and every action item carries the timestamps of the segments it was drawn from. Clicking one scrolls the transcript to that moment and flashes it, so the distance between reading a claim and checking it is one click rather than a replay.

What the summary says

The sign-on bonus was not committed to and is waiting on HR 12:31

What was said at 12:31

Speaker 1:Sign-on 要再同 HR confirm,我唔想而家俾一個數你。Low confidence

What we do not claim

Recolio does not promise a correct transcript, and it does not publish an accuracy figure it has not measured on your kind of audio. Where the speech engine reports low confidence in a segment, you get a badge rather than a probability, because a model's confidence score is not a measurement and should not be dressed up as one. Where a summary has no owner or no date to report, the field reads not specified instead of a plausible guess.

Pricing

Introductory pricing, one seat at a time.

These prices are introductory while we work with our first teams, and they may change before general release. Anyone already subscribed will hear from us before that happens.

Per seat

Introductory

US$20per seat, per month

  • 10 hours of audio per seat, pooled across the whole workspace

How hours are counted
An hour of allowance is an hour of audio, measured on the decoded recording. You are charged once when the transcript is ready, and not at all if transcription fails.
Extra hours
US$3 per hour, prepaid. Prepaid hours never expire and are only used once the month's seat hours are gone.
At renewal
The month's unused seat hours do not carry over; the new month replaces them. Prepaid hours are untouched by a renewal.
Who this is for
Research, recruitment and consulting teams who work through interview recordings, in Hong Kong first.

Questions

Questions people ask first.

Is this a meeting bot?
No. Nothing of ours joins your calls and there is no calendar connection. You upload a recording you already have, which is also why it works for an in-person interview.
Which languages does it handle?
Cantonese, English, and recordings that move between the two mid-sentence. The summary can be written in English or Traditional Chinese. The interface itself is English.
How accurate is it?
We do not publish an accuracy figure and we do not promise a correct transcript. Speech recognition gets things wrong, particularly names, numbers and people talking over each other. What Recolio does instead is show its working: where the speech engine reports low confidence in a segment, that segment carries a badge rather than a number, and every summary point links to the segment it came from so you can check it against the audio in one click.
Who can see my recordings?
Members of your workspace see only their own recordings. A billing owner sees usage totals, not the contents. Your audio goes to Azure AI Speech to be transcribed and the resulting transcript goes to Google Gemini to be summarized; those two are the processors involved.
How do I delete a recording?
There is a delete action on the result page that removes the audio and everything derived from it, and it cancels any work still running. If you do nothing, audio is deleted after 7 days and transcripts and summaries after 30 days.
What happens after the trial?
The trial covers 3 hours of audio and takes no card, so it simply runs out. Nothing is charged and nothing is deleted early. Subscribe a seat when you want to keep going.
