Map the cues
Preview strict UTF-8 CSV, TSV or pasted lines, then commit the accepted rows in one go.
Circle the take, and the file name is already written.
This browser workspace is for people who run voice-over recording sessions. Log every take against its script cue, circle the one you want, and the delivery filename is already written. Pickups, local WAV and AIFF checks and the handoff record stay on your device. The panel below is the session desk at the size you actually work at.

Scripts, takes and file names stay in this browser. There is no account, no upload and no microphone request.
The links a folder of files cannot hold
A folder shows take numbers. It does not show which script revision was read, which take was chosen, why a cue came back, or which of two cues will overwrite the other on the way out.
Log the takes
Number attempts while your recording software runs, and every take keeps the exact script revision it was read against.
Keep the reason
A pickup round freezes why the cue came back, which take came before it, and what finally answered it.
Match the folder
Compare expected names against local WAV and AIFF headers, then freeze what the browser actually observed.
What it refuses to do
It does not record or listen
Your recording tool keeps capture, playback, editing and mastering. This browser never asks for the microphone and never reads an audio sample.
It does not score a performance
Header observations and the labels you type stay observations and labels. Nothing here becomes a quality, rights or compliance claim.
It does not hold your files
Projects live in this browser profile and travel as checkpoints you download. No operator can reach into one, including to recover it for you.
The bundled evaluation is fiction, and it is completeOrchard Signal holds 100 original cues, 236 take records, three sessions, two pickup rounds, one prior delivery freeze and four planted problems. It represents no real person, client, production, quotation or recording.
Worked example
The shortest honest answer to what this is: a local ledger that keeps a script cue, the take that was read against it, the file that take will be delivered as, and the reason anything was redone, all in one record that survives a browser reload and travels as a file you own. It sits between your script spreadsheet and your recording software, and it does not try to become either.
The bundled Orchard Signal evaluation shows why that matters. It holds 100 original cues, 236 take records, three night-survey sessions, two pickup rounds and one prior delivery freeze. Since that freeze four things have gone wrong on purpose. Cue C017 was amended to a second revision, so its selected take now reads superseded script text. Cue C042 sits in issued pickup round P02 with no response take linked. Cue C055 is required, has takes, and has no current selection. The selected take for C090 renders an expected filename of CON.wav, a reserved device name on Windows, while cue codes C-071 and C_071 collapse onto one filename token once case and separators are normalized. A folder listing shows none of that. Working the stations in order shows all of it.
Method
The workspace is nine stations in a fixed order: session, cues, intake, takes, filenames, pickups, preflight, delivery, projects. Each station writes one kind of record and refuses to write the others, so a filename decision cannot quietly become a take decision and a pickup round cannot quietly rewrite the session it came from. Every take carries the exact cue revision that was read, which is the single link that makes a stale selection detectable later.
Projects live in IndexedDB in the current browser profile, with a session-only fallback when that storage will not open. Nothing you load or type is uploaded, and the pages carry a content policy that blocks every outbound connection except the billing hosts the Premium page names. Portability comes from versioned JSON checkpoints you download yourself; a restore is transactional and refuses a file whose schema or digest does not check out.
What this does not do
- It does not record, play, decode, transcode or assess audio, and it never asks for microphone permission.
- It does not judge quality, pronunciation, noise, loudness or synchronization, because it never reads a single audio sample.
- It does not decide rights, consent, union status, compensation or permitted use.
- It does not transmit files, and a frozen delivery record is not proof of receipt, approval or acceptance.
- It is not a backup service. No operator can recover a project for you, so download checkpoints.
Do this in the app
Fifteen minutes with the bundled evaluation is a faster answer than any feature list.
- Open the workspace and load the Orchard Signal evaluation at station 01 Session.
- Read station 05 Filenames and station 07 Preflight first; that is where the four planted problems surface.
- Download a checkpoint from station 09 Projects to prove the project moves between browsers.
