— How it works
From ingest to publish,
in one timeline.
STEP 01
Ingest from the field
Reporters upload phone footage, b-roll, and field audio straight to the desk. Auto-transcoded, ready to cut.
STEP 02
Cut on a shared timeline
Editors trim, layer audio, and keyframe transitions while the desk watches the cut in real time.
STEP 03
Caption and review
Speech-to-text drafts captions; copy desk reviews English and Arabic side-by-side before sign-off.
STEP 04
Publish to every channel
Brand-correct exports for 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 — straight to the player, the social desk, or the CMS.
— Built for the desks
One editor, three vantage points.

What editors say after six months.
“We cut breaking video on the same timeline the desk is watching. No more file handoffs at deadline.”

Talk to salesFor most newsroom cuts, yes — Spearow is purpose-built for desk turnaround, not feature-film finishing. Send the long-form work back to your NLE; do the news cut in Spearow.
Each brand, region or masthead is an isolated tenant with its own users, templates, brand kits and exports — but you manage them from one admin plane.
Yes. Speech-to-text supports Arabic and English out of the box, captions render RTL correctly in burn-in and SRT/VTT exports, and the review surface is fully RTL-aware.
Most desks are live in two weeks. A dedicated editorial solutions engineer migrates your brand assets, lower-thirds and roles during setup.
Yes — we ship a Docker deployment for security-sensitive customers. SSO and audit-log export are available on all plans.
