Riano

Free, forever, no account

Cut your aircheck in the time it takes to listen to it once.

Drop a logger recording. Riano finds every talk break, throws the songs away, and lets you pick the ones worth sending. Trim each one to the second, put them in the order you want, and download the reel.

Open the aircheck editor

Nothing is uploaded. The recording is read in your browser and never leaves your machine.

What it does with a shift you have already recorded

Finds the breaks

It listens for the rhythm of speech rather than for loudness, so a break you talked over a music bed is still found. A four-hour logger file comes back as a list you can click through.

Throws the music away

Songs, beds and dead air never make the list. What is left is the part of the shift a program director would actually listen to.

Lets you cut inside a break

The good part of a break is rarely the whole break. Move the start and the end a second at a time, hear the edit as you make it, and keep only the part that works.

Builds the reel

Put your picks in the order you want, add a slate if you record one, and download a finished aircheck. No render queue, no waiting — it is assembled on your own machine.

Two ways to use it

Let it choose

Riano listens to every break, picks the strongest and puts them in an order that holds together. Good when you want something decent in a hurry.

Choose yourself

It finds and trims the candidates; you decide what goes in. No model can hear that a bit was a mistake you recovered from, or that two breaks are from different days. You can.

Also: an AI video editor for people who narrate

Every other tool in this category makes you put the clips in order yourself. The ones that do not read a transcript, which means they only work on footage of somebody talking — point them at silent b-roll and they have nothing to go on.

Riano inverts it. You record a voiceover, drop in your footage, and it works out which shot belongs under which line. That describes almost every radio person alive: able to narrate anything, and with no time to edit video.

New to this, or want a second opinion on your reel?

We wrote down what actually goes in an aircheck and what keeps one out of the pile — how long it should run, which breaks to keep, what order they go in, and the mistakes that get a demo deleted before the second break. Written with a working morning show host.

Questions

Does my audio get uploaded anywhere?
No. The recording is decoded and analyzed in your browser. It is not sent to a server, and it is not stored.
What does the aircheck editor cost?
Nothing, and it is going to stay that way. It is free with no account and no cap.
What files does it take?
Whatever your browser can decode — MP3, WAV, M4A and most logger output. You can drop several files at once and it treats them as one body of material.
How long can the recording be?
Up to two hours per file. A whole shift is the normal case.
Will it work on a phone?
It runs, but a four-hour file and a phone are a bad match. Use a laptop or desktop for anything long.
