For teaching and research
Record interviews, presentations and oral exams in full quality, on a server your institution controls or on Tapry Cloud. Students and participants join from a link, with no account.
What people use it for
In practice1.0Research interviews
Sound-only studios, a consent text each participant accepts before joining, a consent record with every recording, and transcripts in the layouts NVivo, MAXQDA and ATLAS.ti import, with names replaced if you need.
Student assignments
Start a studio from the Class template and share its solo link. Each student records alone in their browser, without an account, and their recording arrives in your studio. Recordings can delete themselves after a term.
Seminars, panels and oral exams
Everyone is recorded on their own device in full quality, so a weak connection in a dorm or abroad doesn’t spoil the recording. A producer can run the session without being recorded.
Data that stays where it must
Run Tapry on a university server, or record into your own storage bucket. Transcripts are made on the server by default. That is usually what an ethics board or a data protection officer asks first.
What it costs a school
On your own server: nothing. Tapry is open source. A department or an IT service can run it with Docker, with no limit on hours, people or studios, and nothing leaves the institution.
On Tapry Cloud: A verified education account records 10 hours a month on the Free plan instead of 2.
Paid plans aren’t open yet. When they are, Creator, Studio and Team will be 30% off for education accounts.
An account whose owner has a confirmed address at a school or university (.edu, .ac.uk and the like) is recognised by itself. Other schools ask from Settings, Plan, and we look at each request by hand.
Two free tools help with the paperwork: the consent form generator and the recording data map for ethics and data protection reviews.
