Resero (Latin reserō: I unlock) is the workbench that holds the whole SIM DAD suite: one window where your transcripts, drafts, analyses, and videos live together, entirely on your machine.
Ibis, Lector, and Orator each work standalone. Resero is what they add up to: record an interview and Ibis transcribes it, the transcript opens in Lector where you write with your ears as well as your eyes, Velamen strips what must never leave, and Orator presents what you wrote: one workflow, on your own hardware, with nothing sent anywhere. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. For turning a corpus into numbers and charts, TASS is the companion instrument: a separate product that Resero hands corpora to and receives results from, never a bundled component.
In the morning, yesterday’s interview is already a transcript, waiting in the suite feed.
By afternoon, you hear the draft read back, mark what needs fixing, and strip names before sharing.
Everything at rest is encrypted with age, keyed to your operating system’s credential store. Recordings, drafts, and data never leave the machine unless you export them yourself.
Researchers, clinicians, lawyers, and journalists work with material that cannot go to someone else’s cloud. The tools they are offered anyway are subscriptions to other people’s servers. Resero exists so the private path is also the good path: one workbench where serious tools share one workflow, and the data stays where the duty of care lives, with you.
Coming soon at $159. One-time purchase, no subscription. Windows and macOS, with updates included. Ibis, Lector, and Orator each work standalone; the workbench is where they become more than the sum. Ask for early access to hear first when there is a build to try.
Bought on their own, Lector ($29), Ibis Pro ($59), and Orator ($129) come to $217. Resero is $159, and it adds Velamen and the shared workbench, neither sold separately.
