Built for people whose raw material is people talking.
If you record interviews, conversations, panels, or presentations and your deliverable is a shaped story or pulled quotes, Doza Assist runs the finding pass for you — transcription, speaker ID, story analysis, and selects, entirely on your Mac.
Doza Assist is a local-first AI editing assistant for anyone who turns recorded talking into finished stories: documentary editors, journalists, podcast producers, corporate video teams, event editors, and researchers. It transcribes on your Mac in about 100 languages, finds the moments that matter, and exports to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve — $199 one-time, nothing uploads.
Find your workflow
Each page below walks through the workflow for that kind of work — the formats you bring in, the pass Doza runs, and what lands back in your timeline or your document.
Documentary Editors
Paper edits, stringouts, and story structure across 20 hours of interviews. Docuseries, true crime, sports docs, and festival sizzles included.
Journalists & Newsrooms
Broadcast packages, news magazine acts, and investigations where source recordings can't touch a server. Quote sheets from pressers in minutes.
Podcast Producers
Video and audio shows, interview formats, panels. Pull the best moments, cut the episode down, finish in your NLE.
Case Study & Testimonial Producers
Customer interviews into case study films and quote pulls — with every brand's voice kept separate via My Style profiles.
Corporate Video Teams
Executive interviews, town halls, internal comms, training, and recruiting video — edited without uploading a frame anywhere.
Event & Webinar Teams
Keynotes, conference sessions, webinars, and recaps. Transcribe a three-hour recording locally and pull the highlights the same day.
Oral History & Research
Oral history projects, ethnography, and qualitative research where ethics rules keep participant recordings off the cloud.
Social Clipping Teams
Long-form to short-form for editors who finish in an NLE. Clip candidates, per-client style profiles, batch overnight.
Legal Video Review
Testimony and hearing footage made searchable on one Mac — privileged material never touches a server.
Church & Worship Media
Find the sermon moments worth sharing, across a whole series — one-time price a church board approves once.
Wedding Filmmakers
Vows, toasts, and letters transcribed on your machine. Find the line that makes the film.
Sports Media Teams
Post-game pressers and media days transcribed in the room, quotes out as a PDF or Word Quote Sheet in minutes, highlights to the edit.
Communications Teams
Press conferences, briefings and town halls transcribed on your Mac, speakers named, and a quote sheet drafted for you to check and send.
Broadcast Networks
Local transcription and selects for every edit bay, including the ones that can't reach the internet. Per-editor license, no meter.
News Organizations
Standardize the newsroom on transcription that never leaves its own Macs. No vendor copies, no DPA, no per-seat renewal.
Creative Agencies
Brand films and case studies with a separate editorial voice per client. Quote Sheets for copy, footage never uploaded under an NDA.
Post Production Facilities
Transcription and stringouts inside the suite for facilities whose policy forbids uploading client media. Multicam preserved on the way back.
Archive Managers
Work through the interview backlog with batch transcription and Speaker ID, then export transcripts to the catalog. Restricted material never leaves the Mac.
Final Cut Pro Editors
AI transcription beside Final Cut: multicam and sync clips preserved, and the selects sequence opens in FCP by itself.
DaVinci Resolve Editors
Local transcription with speaker labels — free edition included, no Studio license — delivered back as a Resolve timeline.
Premiere Pro Editors
The story pass before the timeline: corpus-wide transcription and selects, imported into Premiere as an XML.
One tool, many rooms
The list above isn't exhaustive — the same pass works anywhere the raw material is recorded speech. Nonprofit storytellers shaping beneficiary interviews, museum and cultural-institution media teams, film festival sizzle editors, university communications offices, real estate and finance teams cutting expert commentary. If it was said on camera and you need to find it, shape it, and ship it, Doza Assist is built for that pass.
