Just this morning, AI video transcription company, Simon Says, launched Simon Says Assemble, a new editing and collaboration video software.
According to the company, the new product is a significant expansion to the Simon Says platform. It “makes video editing as simple as copying and pasting text,” Simon Says claims. Assemble essentially allows product teams and clients to work together on a video project entirely online. You can import and transcribe interview footage and dailies, highlight the key soundbites in the transcript and then drag and drop the soundbite text into the sequence.

“Teams can now edit, discuss, and sign-off on rough cuts from the web as simply as editing text,” comments Shamir Allibhai, founder and CEO of Simon Says. “Transcription was the stepping stone to Simon Says Assemble, which empowers everyone involved in a project to find and order the meaningful parts of the video to create an impactful narrative. Assemble brings down technical and cost barriers and frees the story from the silos of an NLE.”
