About Artwell
Built by a storyteller, for storytellers.
What to notice, what to keep, and what to make of it.
The founder
Bruce Bracken.
Crop a photograph, cut a sentence, or hold a shot a little longer, and you change how a story lands. I love that work – the small decisions that make something worth sharing.
It runs through my documentary photography and filmmaking with Water for Good and the podcast and digital storytelling work I’ve led at Microsoft. In software, I’m still thinking about what someone will notice, where they’ll go next, and what will help them along.
Why I’m building Artwell.
I’m building Artwell to help people take an idea or a recording and make something of it: develop the thought, create the material, shape the story, and share it.
The tools
From a recording to work you can use.
Quick Transcript is available now. Transcribe audio or video, edit and redline, add speaker names, and export. Play back the source while the recording is retained. Pay as you go, with no subscription.
The broader Artwell Story Engine is in private preview: a connected workflow for developing ideas, shaping material, and preparing stories to share. Preview access is separate from Quick Transcript.
Learn how recordings and transcripts are retained, read our Privacy Policy, or contact Artwell.
