Craig vs Spreaker

Craig is a Discord voice-channel recording bot that creates a separate audio track for each speaker. Recordings can be downloaded as FLAC or MPEG-4 AAC, or opened as Audacity projects or Adobe Audition sessions. A browser webapp can capture participants outside Discord and add their audio as tracks in the same recording. Craig records voice only, not livestream sound or video. The free plan allows up to six hours per recording, and recordings expire after seven days. Paid tiers add longer storage and other options: Tier 1 costs $1 a month, Tier 2 costs $4 a month, and Tier 3 costs $8 a month. Supporters can upload recordings automatically to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box. Tier 3 includes transcripts in WebVTT, SRT, or plain text. Craig marks recording with [RECORDING] in its nickname.
