01

Start the interview

Open Flint on your phone before an in-person interview or consented online call. It is already with you and ready when fieldwork gets messy.

02

Capture each speaker

Flint transcribes long conversations and helps distinguish multiple speakers, so the transcript is easier to review later.

03

Format the fieldnote

Use your own instruction to turn the transcript into a research memo, theme list, quote bank, or follow-up checklist.

From transcript to analysis

Spend less time cleaning transcripts.
More time reading what matters.

Interview work creates a pile of raw material fast. Flint gives you a clean transcript and a note shaped by your method, so each session can become something you can actually compare, code, and revisit.

Interview memo

Create a qualitative interview memo. Separate participant claims from interviewer questions. Preserve important direct quotes. Tag emerging themes and list follow-up questions for the next interview.

01Participant claims grouped under emerging themes like trust, access, institutional friction, and workarounds.
02Quote bank with the most useful verbatim lines kept separate from summary text.
03Follow-up questions to ask in the next interview, based on unclear or recurring points.
Why Flint

Built for fieldwork that does not happen neatly at a desk.

Fieldwork

Your recorder is already in your pocket

No separate recorder, laptop, or desk setup. Flint works from the phone you already carry into interviews, site visits, and hallway follow-ups.

Speakers

Designed for conversations, not monologues

Speaker detection makes interview transcripts easier to scan when you need to separate interviewer prompts from participant responses.

Long form

Short chats or 4-hour interviews

Use Flint for a quick 10-minute check-in or a long interview session up to 4 hours without changing tools.

Custom output

Your method decides the output.

Tell Flint how to shape the transcript: preserve exact quotes, tag emerging themes, separate observation from interpretation, or produce a compact memo for your supervisor.

Local-first privacy

Sensitive interviews need local-first handling.

Audio is stored locally on your phone by default and never stored on Flint servers. For maximum privacy, use fully on-device mode so notes and audio stay on your device.
