# Uploads

Get audio, video, and text into Speak AI three ways. Whichever you use, the file
transcribes and analyzes automatically the moment it arrives.

![The Upload page: drop a file, paste a link, or record yourself](/help/media/uploads/uploads-index.jpg)

- **Upload a file**: drag and drop, or browse. MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and most audio; MP4, MOV,
  AVI and most video; TXT, DOCX and PDF documents.
- **Paste a link**: including YouTube links, imported and transcribed for you.
- **Record yourself**: capture audio or video right in the browser, no install.

## Upload a file

1. Open **Upload** from the **+ New** menu, or drag files onto the drop zone.
2. Add one file or many. Each becomes its own item in your [library](/help/library/).
3. Processing starts immediately; a typical file is ready in about half its own duration.

Unusual format? Convert to MP3 or MP4 first. The full list is on [File formats](/help/uploads/formats/),
and if something still won't go through, [Upload errors](/help/troubleshoot/uploads/) sorts it by symptom.

## Paste a link

Paste a media URL, a YouTube video or a direct file link, and select **Import**. Speak AI
fetches, transcribes, and analyzes it like any upload.

## Record in the browser

Select **Start Recording** to capture audio or video on the spot. Recording elsewhere first?
The [mobile app](/help/start/mobile-app/) records on the go, and the
[embeddable recorder](/help/recorder/) collects recordings from other people.

## Bringing in a lot at once?

- [CSV import](/help/uploads/csv-import/) adds many files or text notes in one pass
- [Zapier](/help/integrations/zapier/) sends files automatically from Google Drive, Zoom, or Slack
- The [API](/api/media/) uploads programmatically

Moving a whole team's library in? [Book a free consult](https://calendly.com/speak-ai/consult?utm_source=docs&utm_campaign=consult)
and we'll plan the migration with you.
