Doza Assist for Sports Media Teams.
The final whistle goes, the presser starts twelve minutes later, and comms, digital, and the broadcast crew all want the same thing before anyone leaves the building: what did the coach actually say? Doza Assist transcribes the presser on the Mac in the media room, labels who said what, and turns it into a formatted Quote Sheet — PDF or Word — that the whole department can use in minutes, without the recording ever leaving the club.
Doza Assist is transcription and Quote Sheet software for sports media departments, running entirely on your Mac. Pressers, locker-room scrums, media days, and sit-down features are transcribed offline in 100+ languages with every speaker labeled. One click turns the transcript into a clean pull-quote document for comms, PR, and digital, and the highlight selects go to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. $199 one-time per editor. Nothing uploads.
01How does a post-game presser become a Quote Sheet?
The Quote Sheet is the part of Doza Assist sports departments lean on hardest, because it serves three teams at once — comms needs approved quotes, digital needs captions and posts, and the broadcast crew needs the soundbite. One pass feeds all of them:
- Load the presser or scrum. The camera card, the house feed, or the phone recording from the mixed zone — standard video and audio formats come straight in, and transcription starts immediately because there is no upload.
- Get every voice labeled. Speaker ID separates the coach, the captain, the moderator, and the six reporters talking over each other. Rename a speaker once and every line they said carries the name.
- Export the Quote Sheet. One click turns the transcript into a formatted pull-quote document as PDF or Word. Comms gets a document they can approve and circulate, not a raw transcript. Fix a misheard name in place first — double-click the word, and the correction flows into the sheet.
- Find the line digital wants. Ask in plain language — "what did he say about the penalty decision" — and get timecoded answers with playable clips. Click any word to land on that frame.
- Send the highlights to the edit. Selects go to a Final Cut Pro timeline, a Premiere Pro XML, or straight to DaVinci Resolve, with your markers and notes intact, for the broadcast package or the social cut.
02Why does a Quote Sheet beat a raw transcript for a sports department?
A transcript is for the person cutting the piece. A Quote Sheet is for everyone else — the press officer clearing what goes out, the digital editor writing the post, the journalist on the club's own channel, the sponsor liaison who needs the line about the new kit. Doza Assist formats the quotes as a document those people already know how to open, attributed by speaker, ready for approval, as PDF or Word.
Because the pass runs locally, it keeps up with the schedule. Home fixture, away fixture, midweek cup tie: each presser is searchable and quotable minutes after it ends, on the Mac you brought, with no per-minute meter counting a 40-game season. Add the whole season as a Collection and you can ask what the manager said about the same topic in August, October, and today.
Media day is a dozen sit-down interviews in one afternoon. Batch them, let Doza Assist transcribe and label the lot unattended, and the next morning every player's session is searchable with the best lines already ranked. Season-long documentary features draw on the same Collection: ask across every interview for the moments about a rivalry, an injury, a comeback, and build the stringout from there.
03How does it compare to cloud transcription for sports media?
Most sports departments either transcribe pressers by hand under deadline or push them through a cloud service and wait for the queue. Doza Assist does the job on the machine in the room.
| Doza Assist | Cloud transcription service | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the presser is processed | On your Mac, offline | Vendor servers |
| Time from final whistle to quotes | Minutes; no upload queue | Upload + processing wait |
| Quote Sheet for comms and digital | Formatted PDF or Word, one click | Varies; often raw transcript export |
| Crosstalk in the scrum | Separated and labeled | Varies |
| Billing across a season | $199 one-time, unlimited hours | Per-minute or per-seat subscription |
| Works in the media room with no signal | Fully offline | No |
| Player and staff recordings held by a third party | Never | Yes, per the vendor's retention policy |
Cloud services make sense when many people need browser access to the same transcript. Doza Assist is for the media team that has to turn the presser into quotes and cuts before the room empties — with the recordings staying inside the organization.
04Frequently asked
How fast can we get a Quote Sheet after a presser?
Minutes on Apple Silicon. Transcription starts the moment the file loads, Speaker ID runs as part of the pass, and the Quote Sheet export is one click. A 20-minute presser is typically quotable before the players are back on the bus.
Can the Quote Sheet be edited before it goes to comms?
Yes. Correct a misheard name or number by double-clicking the word in the transcript, reassign a line to the right speaker, then export. The PDF or Word document reflects the fixed transcript. It's a standard file, so comms can edit it further in Word.
Reporters shout over each other in the mixed zone. Does speaker labeling hold up?
Speaker ID is built for crosstalk and noisy rooms. Each voice is separated and labeled; you name the coach and the captain once and every line they said is attributed. Word-level timing lets you click any quote and hear it against the tape.
Our roster speaks four languages. Does that matter?
Transcription covers 100+ languages, auto-detected, entirely offline. A bilingual presser doesn't need a language picked first, and AI summaries can be set to any of 30 output languages per project.
Can we search a whole season?
Yes. Group the season's pressers and interviews as a Collection and ask across all of them — what the manager said about set pieces in every post-match, every time a player mentioned the fans. Story Brief works on the Collection, so long-form features can start from the moments that actually carry the year.
