Grape
Handwriting notes for podcasters

Write it by hand. Ask it like text.

Write episodes and guest prep by hand on pages of ruled paper and Grape reads the words off the page on the device itself, so a page of a back catalogue in your own hand turns up in search like any typed note and the agent can quote it.
Lined, grid, dotted, graph or plain pages, A4 or Letter, up to a hundred of them
Handwriting read into text on the device, so pages are searchable and the agent can read them
Import a PDF to write over it, export the notebook as one
The same pages open on the desk, where you can keep writing on them

Paper that behaves like paper

Pen, highlighter, eraser, shapes and text boxes on pages that stack the way a notebook does.

Your handwriting, searchable

The words are read off the page on the device itself, and nothing leaves it to do so.

The agent reads your pages

Ask what the lecture said on Tuesday and the answer comes from the ink.

Write on the slides

Import a PDF and annotate it page by page, then export the lot back out as one.

Page forty is a tap away

A navigator shows the whole notebook as thumbnails, with a page added or removed from there.

Open the notebook at the desk

The pages sync like any note and open in the desktop app, where you can add to them.

Three things that stop eating the edit day

Skip the feature list. This is what changes between the recording stopping and the episode going out.
01
An hour of audio, and the show notes still have to be written by hand.

Turn an episode into text you can use

Drop the audio into a note, get a transcript, then ask for the summary and the timestamps worth clipping.
02
Guest research is in tabs, DMs and a doc you cannot find.

Show up to the interview prepared

Keep guest research in one note and ask for the five questions your notes suggest.
03
You know episode forty covered it and you would have to scrub to find where.

Remember what episode forty said

Search the whole back catalogue by topic instead of scrubbing through audio.

What that looks like for podcasters

Three points between recording and publishing where the app pulls its weight.
01

Before recording

Collect the guest research, links and questions in one note you can read from.
02

Straight after

Drop the audio in, get a transcript, and mark the parts that will make clips.
03

Publishing day

Ask for show notes built from the transcript and export them.
