Voice Feedback
"Stop typing timestamps. Just talk." — Review video edits 10× faster by speaking your feedback while watching. Your editor gets a perfectly timestamped transcript with on-screen annotations.
The Idea
A browser-based video feedback tool where clients watch an editor's cut and simply **talk** their feedback aloud while optionally drawing on the video. The tool transcribes speech in real-time, pins each comment to the exact video timestamp and frame, and bundles everything into a clean, scrubbable feedback timeline the editor can work from — replacing clunky Google Docs and typed Frame.io comments with a voice-first, zero-friction review experience.
Who It's For
Freelance video editors, YouTube creators, social media agencies, and post-production studios who exchange feedback with clients on video cuts.
What's Built
Build only what proves the core loop: upload → share link → voice-review → editor reads feedback.
Included in MVP:
- Editor dashboard: sign up, log in, create a "project", upload a video file (up to 500 MB), get a shareable review link
- Reviewer page (no auth required): opens via shared link, plays the video, captures microphone audio, transcribes speech in real-time using the Web Speech API (with Deepgram as fallback), and auto-timestamps each comment to the current playback position
- On-screen drawing: simple canvas overlay — freehand pen + circle tool. Each drawing is saved as a snapshot tied to its timestamp
- Feedback timeline: editor views all voice comments as timestamped, text cards alongside the video; clicking a card seeks the video to that moment and shows the annotation snapshot
- Basic project management: list projects, view feedback per project, delete projects
Explicitly excluded from MVP:
- AI-powered edit suggestions / agentic editing
- Team/agency features, roles, permissions
- Payment / subscription billing
- Mobile-native apps
- Real-time collaborative review sessions
