Nomono Sound Capsule: All You Need To Know
Nomono Sound Capsule is a self-contained cloud-connected recording system for collecting audio while out in the field. This helped encourage additional funding due to its specific purposes for professional podcasters and journalists.
The Web App is an online tool for audio collaboration. It can be accessed through a Wi-Fi enabled recorder. This app connects collaborators to AI powered tools for improving sound quality in their recordings. It also allows collaborators to back up their work and share it with their production team.
Nomono began accepting pre-orders for the Sound Capsule during the fall of 2022. Additionally, the company’s web app is currently available as a free public beta.
Simplifies Podcasting
Nomono was founded in Trondheim, Norway in 2019. Its name is an abbreviation of ‘no more no Mon.’ This name was chosen because the company’s founders believed that audio workflows should be smart, simple and of exceptional quality.
The startup’s mission is to make professional-quality audio recordings easy and accessible for everyone. They aim to accomplish this by making it easy for people to record high-quality audio podcasts. By doing this, they hope to redefine how people listen to podcasts and simplify the process.
The company offers an all-in-one field recording solution for journalists and podcasters. It automatically uploads audio to a cloud-based tool for collaboration and preparation. This eliminates the need for separate field recorders, microphones, mixers and accessories in podcasting workflows.
