What is Riverside?
Riverside is an online production studio for recording, editing, repurposing, streaming, and publishing podcasts and videos. It records each participant locally, producing separate audio and video tracks that are less dependent on the quality of the live internet connection. Desktop recordings can reach 4K video, while audio is available at up to 48 kHz.
The platform combines recording with a transcript-based editor and AI tools for tasks such as creating clips, improving audio, correcting eye contact, removing filler words, generating show notes, adding captions, and translating or dubbing content. It also includes podcast hosting, audience analytics, webinars, and multichannel live streaming.
