On-premises usability research lab
Every session.
Every source.
Nothing leaves the room.
Ovo Logger records, moderates, and analyzes usability studies on hardware you control. Four synchronized sources. A live observer console. AI findings computed on-premises. No cloud.
BUILT FOR LABS WHERE THE CLOUD ISN'T AN OPTION
01 / Data sovereignty
Human research is your most sensitive data. Keep it that way.
Ovo Logger sends nothing to the cloud. Recording, review, and analysis run on machines you own - so studies covered by IRB, HIPAA, ITAR, or plain common sense never leave the building.
bytes sent to the cloud - capture, storage, and AI are fully local
runs on isolated networks; activation and licensing are offline
every study is a self-contained database on a drive you own, one project holding every session, note, and finding
02 / Capture
One clock. Up to four sources. Frame-accurate.
Screen, webcam, capture cards, and PTZ cameras record on one shared timebase; sources align to the millisecond in review. Each feed runs in its own encoder process, so one failure cannot take the session. Live monitors show every source before recording starts.
Any source
DXGI screen capture, webcams, professional capture cards, and PTZ cameras.
A/V hardware control
Drive matrix switchers, PIP inserters, and PTZ cameras from inside the app.
Field-ready
A permanently installed lab or a rig that travels in a case - the same software has run 4-source capture in a moving car.
03 / The study, end to end
Design, moderate, log. One place.
The full moderated protocol, whether your participant is across the table or across the building.
A console for every note-taker
Observers join from a phone or laptop. Notes and tags land on the live recording clock, server-stamped. Each observer keeps an independent task timeline for inter-rater timing.
server-stamped · LAN or relaySurveys & self-guided tasks
SUS, SEQ, and eight question types, delivered before, between, or after tasks. Results chart per question. A self-guided runner lets participants run and time their own tasks.
SUS / SEQ scored app-sideSearch the session, cut the clip
Speech and on-screen text are indexed: search a recording, jump to the moment. The timeline zooms like an edit suite, one lane per event type. Mark in and out to cut highlight clips; stitch clips into a reel. Export the whole study to CSV and a self-contained HTML table.
OCR + speech · zoomable timeline · reels · HTML/CSV export04 / On-premises intelligence
AI findings, computed on this machine.
A local language model - no API, no upload - drafts the stakeholder findings report, answers questions about the study, and drafts the study plan. Every claim cites a real moment; every quote is machine-verified against the transcript. Every number is computed by the app from a sound measurement, or declined and stated as declined.
Findings report
Plain-language report for non-technical stakeholders, with a researcher appendix of severities and scores.
Ask the study
Grounded Q&A over the sessions - answers cite verbatim quotes with clickable timestamps.
Study designer
Turn a plain brief into tasks, a screener, and a moderator guide - the app enforces the rules.
Checkout was the clearest pain point. 3 of 5 participants hit a payment error and two abandoned the task.
[S2 @ 6:35] “it just says error 402 and won't let me pay”
The category, reclaimed
Your UX lab went dark. Nothing replaced it.
Ovo Logger is the successor: purpose-built lab depth, rebuilt for current hardware, current privacy expectations, and current AI. If your workflow has been screen recorders and spreadsheets since Morae, this is the replacement.
05 / Under the hood
Instrument-grade, not a screen recorder.
Purpose-built for research rigor: synchronized capture, structured data, and a self-contained project format that stays yours.
