Looking for a Condens alternative?

Condens has quietly made its mark in the UX research space, offering everything from participant management to insight report creation—all at a budget-friendly price.

Why is Reduct the best research repository tool?

Ctrl + F for video—pinpoint key moments in a flash

feature-media

Locate moments within one interview, or across thousands of hours of content within your research repository.

Reduct’s powerful fuzzy search algorithm finds relevant phrases even when the words don’t match exactly.

Reduct.Video Customer Testimonial

Austin Wagoner

“There could be something on the tip of your tongue that you know is in the interview and you can't remember exactly what it was. But if you have an idea, you can start working your way to where that might be. And then you can go and you're like, wow, yes, this is exactly what I wanted.”

Edit videos with text—stitch, clip, and skip with ease

feature-media

Create tags and highlights from different user interviews and seamlessly stitch them into a cohesive montage by a drag and drop.

Reduct helps you skip over tangents, or filler just by deleting the text—making video editing as intuitive as editing a document.

Reduct.Video Customer Testimonial

Mira Rao

“The nice thing about Reduct is that you can go back into the transcripts, find those keywords, highlight them, create clips and then stitch those clips together so quickly.”

Transcribe live interviews—focus on conversation, not on taking notes

feature-media

Reduct’s transcriber bot automatically joins your scheduled interviews and transcribes your them in real-time, allowing you to stay focused on the conversation.

Once the meeting ends, you receive the full transcript along with the recording, making it easy to highlight, tag and and quickly share insightful clips to the stakeholders.

Reduct.Video Customer Testimonial

Sarah

“Before Reduct, I would take meticulous notes and I would listen for very specific words but not really be able to pay that much attention to the interview itself because I was trying so hard to take notes. Now, we don't have to do that. It's all automated and it's really about the participant and their experience.”

Accordion disclosure icon

Can Reduct.Video handle the migration of my existing research repository from Condens?
Accordion disclosure icon

If you have a lot of video on Condens and need some suggestions, a solutions engineer can jump on a call with you and guide you to export your data out of Condens (they make it very hard to do it!). Reduct.Video can import from your hardrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Zoom Cloud Storage, but we don't have a way to directly import recordings from Condens, and we don't support PDFs.

What AI engines are used?
Accordion disclosure icon
Reduct uses Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for our server infrastructure. Our transcription, speaker diarization, and transcription alignment models are all self-hosted within GCP infrastructure. For translation, we use Google Cloud's Translation API.

Optionally, we offer LLM-based features (such as summarization, suggested highlights / tags, and "Ask"), powered by OpenAI. This usage is protected by a data processing agreement between Reduct and OpenAI in which OpenAI promises that they will not train any models on your data, nor retain it more than 30 days.
