Common questions

The short version.

What kinds of recordings does it work with?

Anything with people talking: interviews, podcasts, keynotes, panels, webinars, events. If there’s dialogue, Doza Assist transcribes it, finds the strongest moments and builds a rough cut.

Does it work with multicam?

Yes. Import a multicam FCPXML from Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Doza Assist transcribes the angle set as the audio source, and the FCPXML Round-Trip export puts your selects back on the same angles with video and audio in sync. How the round trip works

What does my producer need to open a share link?

A web browser. No app and no account. They read the transcript, play clips, save selects with notes, and download the transcript or quote sheet as Word, PDF or Excel. Share links come with Studio.

Does my footage leave my Mac?

No. Transcription and AI run on your Mac, and your video never uploads in any mode. Two things are opt-in: your own Claude or OpenAI API key (transcript text only), and a Studio share link (compressed audio and text, deleted when you expire the link).

What Mac do I need?

Any Mac with Apple silicon, M1 or later. Intel Macs aren’t supported. 16 GB of memory is the minimum we test against.

Does it work in my language?

It transcribes about 100 languages and writes its notes in 30 of them, set per project. Quotes always stay in the language they were spoken.

How do refunds work?

Try it free first. If you buy and it doesn’t work for you, email within 30 days for a full refund.

Start free. Buy when it’s earned it.

Download the app, drop in a recording and see what Doza finds. Every feature works on the first 2 minutes of any file.
