About Verbaia

Verbaia is a transcript review app. It takes the garbled output of speech-to-text and turns it into a transcript you can actually use — transcript correction and transcription cleanup for people who live in transcripts.

Here is the problem it solves. AI transcription is fast and cheap, and it is wrong in exactly the places that matter: names, terms of art, the one sentence your whole paragraph hangs on. Fixing transcripts by hand is slow, miserable work. Verbaia is built for the review pass — the part where a human checks the words, fixes the garbles, and ships clean copy.

Who it is for

Micro-podcasters — clean up your podcast transcripts without re-listening to the whole episode. Small YouTubers — fix your YouTube captions and closed captions so your viewers get the real words. Journalists and freelancers — turn interview recordings into accurate, quotable text. Qualitative researchers — transcription accuracy you can defend in your methods section.

The short version of our position: Verbaia doesn’t compete with Otter; it cleans up after Otter. Use whatever captures the audio. Verbaia handles the transcript cleanup — review transcripts quickly, fix transcripts confidently, and get on with the work the transcript was for.

Verbaia is in beta now. This blog is the record of building it — one human, one AI, and everything they build together.
