What's new in SHRP. Updates ship as they're ready.

// note

the previous shrp.app was an ai writing tools and document digitization platform — blog outline generator, ai paragraph rewriter, image-to-text ocr, and handwriting digitization. that product has been retired. these tools are now widely available through chatgpt, claude, gemini, and others.

shrp.app has been rebuilt from the ground up as a speech technology platform by digiwares.

TRANSCRIPT ACTIONS

shrp can now help you decide what to do after a transcript is created. generate transcript-specific suggestions, ask custom questions, and save useful outputs for later.

NEW
  • generate suggested actions for transcripts. shrp can recommend useful next steps based on the current transcript.
  • ask about this transcript using a custom prompt. create exam questions, explain concepts simply, extract action items, suggest what to study next, write emails, and more.
  • generated outputs can be saved and reopened later from your dashboard and history.
  • reopened youtube transcripts now support the same transcript actions workflow.
SPEECH-TO-TEXT + FILE TRANSCRIPTION
  • uploaded audio and video transcription results now support transcript actions.
  • reopened speech-to-text and file transcription history items now support suggested actions and custom prompts.
  • transcript actions adapt to the content, including meetings, lectures, interviews, and voice notes.
PRIVACY
  • suggestions are generated from the current transcript only.
  • suggestions are button-triggered, not automatic.
  • suggestions themselves are not saved.
  • shrp does not build user profiles or long-term memory from transcript content.
SITE IMPROVEMENTS
  • speech-to-text now highlights common workflows including meetings, lectures, voice notes, and audio transcription.
  • homepage previews better demonstrate transcription workflows, transcript actions, and saved outputs.
  • desktop navigation was simplified with a new tools menu and clearer product structure.
  • mobile navigation was redesigned around a cleaner workflow-based layout.
  • desktop developer navigation now includes clearer api and mcp descriptions.
  • pricing page layout was improved for larger screens.
ROADMAP
  • webhook support for transcription and transcript workflow events.
  • automation integrations built on top of webhooks.
  • transcript actions for additional workflows.
  • continued improvements to saved work, history, and generated outputs.

SAVED WORK & WORKFLOW HISTORY

shrp now makes it easier to save, reopen, and continue work across transcripts, summaries, notes, and generated content.

NEW
  • youtube transcripts are now saved for signed-in users. extract a transcript once and reopen it later from your dashboard or history.
  • ai-generated outputs are now saved. summaries, key takeaways, study notes, blog drafts, linkedin posts, and x threads can be reopened anytime.
  • dashboard now has a continue working section. pick up where you left off without searching through old pages.
  • history is now more complete. speech-to-text, text-to-speech, youtube transcripts, smart tools, and saved outputs now live in one place.
  • saved outputs now support copy, txt download, markdown download, source transcript reopening, and opening the original youtube video.
IMPROVED
  • homepage refreshed around the full workflow: capture -> transcribe -> transform -> save -> continue -> automate.
  • youtube transcript messaging is clearer and now refers to the available transcript instead of implying visible captions or cc must exist.
  • dashboard and history labels are more consistent and easier to scan.
  • api, mcp, sitemap, llms.txt, and share metadata were updated for better discovery.

this update lays the foundation for a more workflow-driven shrp experience: use a tool, save the result, return later, and continue where you left off.
