chit at work
chit for journalism
Who carries it: Reporter
Your recorder transcribes. It does not know your beat.
When to press it
- Interviews
- press conferences
- field reporting
What the end of the day gives back
Quotes pulled with timestamps; follow-up questions queued.
What a team sees
Editors: source-interview coverage where appropriate.
Teach it your job
“Beat reporter; capture quotes verbatim with timestamps and speaker labels.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Where the data lives
Source protection: local or BYO processing, no third-party retention.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
