Record, compare, choose, and deliver stronger voiceover takes — all on device.
Take a Stack is a purpose-built take-management tool for solo voice creators. Paste a script, record up to 8 takes per line, compare them, lock in a winner, and stitch the whole script into a single final track — no account, no cloud, no ads.
Every take shows a compact traffic-light badge after recording: green means your level landed in the –22 to –10 dBFS sweet spot for voice work, cyan means you were quiet, red means you ran hot. Session Stats adds a mean-level card across all winners with actionable advice. (Source: ACX audiobook standards.)
Tap the flag button on any script line while recording to mark it for a redo — even if it already has a winner take. A dedicated Second Pass section appears at the top of the Record tab, queuing all flagged lines across every project so you can batch-retake without hunting through the script.
Set a target spot length (15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 90 s, or custom) when creating a project or via Session Notes. Session Stats compares the stitched estimate against the target and shows how many words to cut or add if you're over or under — built for timed ads and fixed-length broadcast spots.
Full-screen word-highlight auto-scroll paced to your project WPM. Swipe to adjust speed on the fly; tap to pause. Navigate between lines without leaving the view, keeping your hands free while the mic is hot.
Attach a director brief, tone guide, or client context directly to a project. It appears as a collapsible card above the script lines — the brief is always one glance away when you're about to record.
Per-project analytics: total recording time, keeper rate, takes-per-line histogram, hardest lines, pacing consistency score, and — new — mean recording level with traffic-light grading across all winner takes.
Export a CSV cue sheet from Session Stats listing every line with its winning take duration, file name, star rating, notes, and gap setting. Open in Numbers, Excel, or send to a client as a delivery manifest.
No account. No analytics. No tracking SDK. No network calls. Your scripts, takes, and exports live only on your device. Everything in TakeStack — recording, waveform extraction, level analysis, stitching, export — runs on-device with AVFoundation and SwiftData.
