The ground truth is on the air. We read it first.
DialSweep monitors the world's radio, online and off-grid, and turns every broadcast into searchable English the moment it airs, so you see what's happening on the ground before anyone else does.
Radio is how the world coordinates when everything else fails.
When the power dies, cell towers go down, and the internet goes dark, people still reach for a radio. In a crisis, in the places hardest to see into, radio is the first and often the only way a community shares what is happening: where the fighting is, which road is open, where the water rose, who needs help. It is the oldest live network on earth, and it never logged off.
We hear every station that streams, and the ones that never will.
Online, everywhere.
Any station on earth that streams, we hear live and turn into plain, searchable English the moment it airs, in dozens of languages.
Off-grid, on the ground.
Most of the world's local radio never touches the internet. We deploy field receivers into those places, so the broadcasts no one else can hear become signal you can read.
Online, every station that streams lights up the moment it airs. Off-grid, our receiver pulls in the local radio no one else can hear.
One box. Many ears.
A DialSweep field receiver does more than catch AM and FM. From the same spot it reads aircraft passing overhead, cell network strength, and handheld radio traffic nearby, then turns all of it into one live picture of what is moving on the ground.
Here is what we heard.
Broadcasts from real placeswhen it mattered most. Press play. Read what was said. Watch a voice in a language you do not speak become something you can act on.

Radio carried facts no other source had. And it had them first.
Facts carried nowhere else, then or since.
Carried by both radio and the rest, where radio led ~7 in 10.
The wider information picture, wire and online and social.

From a voice on the air to a fact you can use, in minutes.
We turn a live broadcast into a clear, searchable fact in about four minutes. Hear it. Write it down. Translate it. Pull out the single thing that matters. Place it on the map. What was a voice in a language you do not speak becomes an early warning you can act on.
We listen to the open air. The same signal anyone with a radio hears.
DialSweep listens to public broadcast, the stations meant to be heard, put on the air for everyone. We do not tap phones or break into private channels. We take the signal that is already in the air, in languages and places most people never reach, and turn it into warning that helps protect lives.
If your decisions turn on what is happening on the ground, you need radio.
