Voice recording and transcription for designers
Record voice notes and turn them into text
Say it out loud. Keep it in writing.
Record research sessions and critiques straight into a note and Grape turns them into text you can search, quote and question, usually before you are back at your desk. On Pro it also says who said what.
Record inside the editor without opening a second app
Drag in audio you recorded somewhere else and transcribe that too
Split a conversation by speaker and put names on the voices, on Pro
Ask the agent for the decisions and follow ups in the transcript
Capture on the move
Talk into your phone on the walk back and read it at your desk.
Transcript and notes together
Your own scribbles sit above the transcript, in the same note.
Searchable the moment it lands
An hour of audio becomes text you can find six months later.
Who said what
Split a meeting by speaker, type in the names, and it reads like the conversation it was.
Audio from anywhere else
Drop in a recording you made elsewhere and it gets the same transcript.
Ask the transcript questions
Pull the decisions and the follow ups out of an hour of talking.
01 Outcomes
Three problems, resolved
Not a feature grid. What changes when the sketch and the reasoning live in the same file.
01
The sketch is in one app and the reasoning is in another.
Draw the idea inside the note
An infinite canvas sits in the editor, so a wireframe and the thinking behind it stay together.
02
Six months on, nobody can say why the pattern was chosen.
Explain a decision six months later
Ask why a pattern was chosen and get the note where you argued it out.
03
Research sessions end as a folder of recordings nobody plays back.
Run research without a second tool
Record the session, get the transcript, and pull the quotes into the summary.
04 In use
What that looks like for designers
Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
Kickoff
Collect the constraints, screenshots and references into one note per problem.
Exploration
Sketch on the canvas, write the tradeoffs underneath and link to related notes.
Critique
Record the feedback session so you are listening instead of typing.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
07 Questions
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Keep both in the same note.
Drawing canvas, screenshots, research and the reasoning behind a decision in one place, so the rationale survives longer than the file name.
