Riverside

Riverside is a podcast and video recording platform with studio-quality local recording and AI transcription, editing and repurposing.

Overview

Riverside records each participant locally in up to 4K video and uncompressed audio, eliminating internet-quality problems from remote interviews. Its AI layer transcribes in 100+ languages, generates show notes and chapters, and turns long recordings into short clips for social media. Text-based editing lets you edit the recording by editing the transcript, and separate tracks give producers full control. It is the standard tool for professional remote podcast and interview production.

How It Works

Set up a recording studio, invite guests to join from their browsers and record each participant locally in high quality. Use AI transcription and text-based editing to cut the episode, generate show notes and repurpose clips for social media.

FAQ

Is Riverside free to use?

Yes. Riverside’s free plan allows limited recording; studio-quality exports and full AI features require a paid subscription.

Does Riverside offer an API?

Riverside offers API and integration options for enterprise media workflows on business plans.

How does Riverside compare to alternatives?

Compared with Zoom recording, Riverside captures locally in studio quality; compared with dedicated transcription tools, it bundles recording, editing and repurposing.

What should I know before adopting Riverside?

Riverside is overkill for casual calls but essential for shows where production quality matters. Free-plan watermarks and hour limits push serious creators to paid tiers.

Why does Riverside record locally?

Local recording captures each participant at full quality on their own machine regardless of internet conditions, eliminating the compression artifacts and dropouts that plague cloud-recorded calls — the difference between amateur and studio-quality remote productions in practice.

Does Riverside support video as well as audio?

Yes — Riverside records up to 4K video per participant alongside uncompressed audio, with separate tracks for full post-production control. The AI layer then transcribes, edits by text and generates clips, making the whole podcast or interview pipeline unusually efficient.
