What is Recap Raven?

Recap Raven is a Discord bot for D&D and other tabletop groups that records sessions, writes player-safe recaps, and on higher plans adds GM feedback, analytics and searchable campaign memory with transcript-backed answers.

Recap Raven is a Discord bot built for tabletop roleplaying groups, mainly Dungeons & Dragons tables. It listens to a session in a voice channel, transcribes it, and posts a recap back into Discord within minutes. The recap is written to be player-safe, meaning material the GM keeps private does not leak into what the table reads. Audio is deleted once transcription finishes, while transcripts, recaps and campaign memory stay until the user removes them. The site also states that user content is not used to train AI models. In practice the flow is short. A GM invites the bot, runs the session start command when everyone is ready, and plays as usual. Afterward the recap arrives in the channel. Higher tiers add layers on top: Premium produces more detailed recaps, private GM summaries, spotlight reports, a session score, words-by-speaker counts and a read on table energy and the balance between exploration, social play and combat. The Searchable Memory tier, which the site labels as beta, adds a campaign world wiki that updates itself, an editable quest log with recap hooks, next-session prep suggestions, and an Ask feature where players query NPCs, items and past decisions and get answers linked to transcript evidence. The audience is Dungeon Masters who would rather stop taking notes mid-game, and players who forget what happened three sessions back. Transcripts and recaps can be produced in several languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch and Japanese. Among alternatives, it sits between generic meeting transcribers and manual note-taking templates: it is narrower than a general summarizer, but it understands the split between player-facing and GM-only information. Plans are tiered by session count, session length and number of campaigns, starting with a permanent free tier that needs no card. Users should expect recap quality to depend on audio clarity and table crosstalk, and the deepest campaign features sit on the most expensive plan.
