You can create a text note from three places:
- From the sidebar
2. From the header
3. From the dashboard
Once you select that option, you will see a text area appear.
Write or paste the text in the text area.
Once you are happy with the text, hit the “Save” button on the top right.
Speak will automatically analyze the text and create an insight panel to the right of your text.
You can click on the insights that have been extracted to highlight the mentions of them in the text.
You can also hit the “Explore Insights” button on the top right beside the insights search bar and you will be redirected to the Explore Insights page for even deeper analysis and visualization of the file.
There you go. We hope that helps.

Overview
You can analyze text that you’ve already transcribed elsewhere, such as Zoom cloud transcripts or human-generated outputs, without needing to pay for transcription services again.
This feature allows you to use existing transcription data to gain insights and reports, saving you time and resources.
How It Works
You have two primary methods for uploading your existing text:
- Upload Text Feature: Use the dedicated “Upload Text” option.
- Import SRT/VTT: Import an SRT or VTT file alongside your media.
Getting Started
To access this feature, go to Uploads → Text Analysis in your dashboard.
Methods
Here are the ways you can bring your existing text into the platform:
- Text Note: Copy and paste your text directly into a “New Text Note”. Once added, you can run AI Chat, Sentiment analysis, and Named Entity Recognition (NER) on this text, just as you would with a media file.
- Align Audio: If you have both the audio file and its corresponding transcript, upload the audio. Then, select the option “I already have a transcript” (if available in your plan) to sync the audio and text.
- CSV Import: For bulk analysis, you can upload rows of text (e.g., survey responses) via CSV. Each row will be treated as an individual text note for analysis.
Prerequisites
Ensure your files are in one of the following formats:
- Text file (.txt, .docx)
- Caption file (.srt, .vtt)
Troubleshooting
Formatting: To help the AI detect topics more effectively, avoid submitting your text as one continuous block. Ensure there are clear paragraph breaks.
Next Steps
