# From three tools to two workspaces

Reviewed: 2026-11-06

## A clearer product boundary

Pageweft handled PDF extraction; Sonaweft handled recordings and transcripts.
Their standalone hosted services are now retired. The engineering records remain
in the [archive](/#archived-products), including the useful reliability and
source-preservation work behind them.

[Mediaweft](/manuals/mediaweft/) is a new selective rebuild for media preparation
and review. [Noteweld](/manuals/noteweld/) remains the place to display, edit,
connect, study and sync the resulting material. Both are under development.

## Preserve the source, review the result

A caption track or recognition result is a starting point. The interface keeps
original output, reviewed wording corrections and factual assessments distinct.
Evidence reports cite sources and show uncertainty. AI can propose changes;
users control which content, model, cost and action they approve.

## Design before migration

The approved direction separates Process, Library, Review and Assistant, with
account and usage details outside the main task. Companion Noteweld designs make
its assistant, desktop downloads and private-server setup discoverable.

The design checkpoint passed seventeen scoped desktop/mobile Chromium cases.
The merged runtime, unified identity/credits, provider adapters, payment delivery
and final desktop qualification remain implementation work. Technical approaches
will be explained before the major stages, with actual evidence recorded after.

The portfolio keeps archived engineering work separate from current availability.
No final migration or complete production release is claimed by this announcement.
