Built for researchers, by researchers
Never lose your insights again.
Spoken is a recorder and a platform for research teams. It captures your meetings and conversations, then turns them into searchable team memory.
The problem
Research isn’t hard because of the ideas. It’s hard because everything a team learns ends up scattered and forgotten.
- 01
The work happens across notebooks, meetings, papers, files, and chat. By the end of a day there is more information, but not more clarity.
- 02
Meetings make more work than they finish. Decisions get made, then forgotten, and the same ground gets covered twice.
- 03
Research teams do not need another note-taking app. They need memory, a way to keep what the team learns instead of losing it.
The recorder
Hit record. Keep working.
A small device that sits in the room and belongs to the team. One button starts it, the battery lasts for days, and it is ready whenever research happens. No app to open, nothing to change about how the team already works.
The platform
- 01
Searchable team memory
Every recording joins one memory the whole team shares. Find any meeting, decision, or finding by searching for it.
- 02
Summaries and action items, automatic
Spoken turns each meeting into a summary, the goals, and clear action items, without anyone writing them up.
- 03
Connected, not just stored
Spoken links notes to papers, surfaces related work, and shows how the team's thinking changed over time.
- 04
Decisions you can trace
Months later, the team can still see what was decided and why, instead of guessing.
How it works
From a recorded moment to lasting team memory.
Press record
One button on the Spoken recorder. It captures the meeting, lecture, or interview while the team stays present and engaged.
It becomes memory
The recording joins the platform as part of your team's searchable memory, next to everything the team has captured before.
Organized for you
Spoken writes the summary, the goals, the action items, and the key insights from the conversation. Automatically.
Connected over time
Spoken links the session to past meetings, related papers, and earlier decisions, so the team's memory grows instead of resetting.
Why research-first
Built for researchers, by researchers.
- 01
We lived this problem
Eric and Mohammad did research together for years, with their work spread across notebooks, docs, and memory. Spoken is the tool they wanted and never had.
- 02
An app would not fix it
Phones and note apps still lose information, because they need a person to remember to record, upload, and organize. Spoken does not.
- 03
Hardware changes the behavior
The recorder sits in the room and belongs to the team. It is always ready, so capturing research stops depending on anyone remembering to.
- 04
Memory, not transcripts
Most tools stop at a transcript. Spoken is built to connect what the team learns and keep it usable for years.
What’s ahead
What we’re building toward.
Spoken is being built one piece at a time. Here is what is coming and the order it arrives in.
- The recorder
A device for the research room
A one-button recorder that sits with the team and captures research without adding work to anyone's day.
- The platform
Memory the team can search
The software that turns every recording into connected, searchable team memory.
- Launch
Spoken arrives in 2026
Recorder and platform working together, in the hands of the first research teams.
- Pilot teams
Built with real teams
Working hand in hand with the first research teams so their workflow shapes what comes next.
