# Explore

[Explore](https://app.speakai.co/explore) analyzes insights across all of your recordings in one
place. Instead of reading files one at a time, you see the patterns, trends, and comparisons across
your whole library or a single folder.

![The Stats tab of Analysis and Data Visualization. Cards for Audio, Video and Text break out files, words, duration and speakers, with an Upload Counts by Date bar chart and a File Types pie chart below them, and a Last 30 days range selector at the top right.](/help/media/insights/insights-explore.jpg)
## What you can compare

- **Keywords:** which terms appear most often across recordings
- **Sentiment:** how sentiment moves over time or across groups
- **Topics:** the themes that recur in your content
- **Speakers:** speaking patterns across multiple recordings
- **Entities:** people, organizations, and locations mentioned across files

This is how you answer questions that no single file can: the themes running through 50 interview
transcripts, the sentiment trend across support calls, the objections that come up most in sales
calls, the topics your podcast keeps returning to.

## Filter down to what matters

Filters narrow the set of files behind every chart on the page:

- **Folders:** analyze one project folder
- **Date range:** look at a period of time
- **Speakers:** focus on specific speakers
- **Sentiment:** keep positive, negative, or neutral files
- **Tags:** group by your own tags
- **Categories:** filter by insight category

Combine filters with AND and OR conditions to include and exclude data until the view is exactly
what you want, then save the filter so you can return to it without rebuilding it.

## Read the charts

Explore shows your data as charts and tables. You can also ask [AI Chat](/help/ai-chat/) for a
visualization of your own:

- "Create a pie chart of sentiment distribution"
- "Show a bar chart of top keywords this month"
- "Generate a doughnut chart of speaker distribution"

## Analyze a large set of files

To go from a pile of raw files to aggregate insights:

1. **Upload:** bring in your audio, video, and text files, or
   [import a CSV](/help/uploads/csv-import/) of written responses. Check
   [supported formats](/help/uploads/formats/) first, and make sure you have enough transcription
   hours for the batch.
1. **Organize:** move the files into a single folder.
1. **Open the folder insights:** the folder's **Insights** tab aggregates every file in it, with a
   word cloud of frequent terms, the positive and negative balance across the set, and top mentions
   of brands, people, and locations.
1. **Ask across the set:** select all the files and run one AI Chat prompt, such as "What is the
   main pain point?", to get an answer for every file.

Analytics for a large folder take a moment to generate the first time.

## Look at one day, or one day of the week

Click the calendar icon in the top right of Explore or your dashboard and pick a single day, for
example October 13 to October 13. Every chart on the page redraws for that day alone, so you can
see the volume, sentiment, and keywords it produced.

There is no filter for a repeating day such as "every Monday". To study that, select all files in
Explore, click **Export CSV**, open the file in a spreadsheet, and group the rows with a formula
like `=WEEKDAY(Date)`. If you need it as a live filter instead, tag files by their creation day
through an [automation](/help/automations/) and then filter on that tag.

Day boundaries follow your account timezone, so set it to your local time before you read a
single-day view.
