Riverside.fm Freemium

The Professional Podcast and Video Recording Studio with AI-Powered Transcription and Editing

What is Riverside.fm?

Riverside.fm is a professional-grade podcast and video recording platform that operates entirely in the browser while delivering broadcast-quality output. Its core innovation is local recording technology — each participant’s audio and video is recorded locally on their device at full quality, then uploaded progressively to the cloud. This means recordings remain pristine even with unstable internet connections, eliminating the dropped frames, audio glitches, and quality degradation that plague standard Zoom or Google Meet recordings.

Beyond recording, Riverside provides a comprehensive AI-powered post-production suite. Automatic transcription converts recordings to text with 99% accuracy across 100+ languages. AI silence detection identifies and removes awkward pauses, filler words, and dead air. Smart editing lets creators cut video by editing the transcript — delete a sentence from the transcript, and the corresponding video segment is removed automatically. The platform also generates audiograms, clips, and show notes from finished episodes, providing a full production pipeline from recording to publishing.

Product Features

  • Local Recording Technology: Each participant’s audio (up to 48kHz WAV) and video (up to 4K) is recorded locally on their device, ensuring studio quality regardless of internet stability — no dropped frames or audio glitches from connection issues
  • AI Transcription: Automatic transcription with 99% accuracy across 100+ languages, generating downloadable transcripts in SRT, VTT, TXT, and DOCX formats — essential for accessibility, SEO, and content repurposing
  • Transcript-Based Editing: Edit your recording by editing the transcript — highlight and delete text passages, and the corresponding audio/video segments are removed automatically, making editing as intuitive as editing a text document
  • AI Silence & Filler Removal: Automatically detect and remove silence gaps, filler words (“um,” “uh,” “like”), and dead air, tightening episode pacing without manual timeline scrubbing
  • Magic Clips & Audiograms: AI identifies highlight moments in recordings and generates shareable short clips with animated captions for social media — perfect for podcast promotion on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
