Getting Started with Speak AI
What is Speak AI?
Speak AI is a platform for transcription and analysis. Upload or record audio, video, and text, and Speak will automatically transcribe it in 70+ languages, identify speakers, and generate summaries, insights, and action items using AI.
It's built for anyone who works with recorded content: meetings, interviews, podcasts, research, customer calls, lectures, and more.
Your First 5 Minutes
1. Upload a file or start recording
From your dashboard, click Upload to add an audio or video file (MP3, MP4, WAV, and many more formats supported). You can also use the built-in Recorder to capture audio directly, or connect the Meeting Assistant to auto-join your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls.
2. Wait for transcription
Speak processes your file automatically. Most files under 30 minutes are transcribed in just a few minutes. You'll see a notification when it's ready.
3. Explore your transcript
Once transcribed, you can:
Read and search the full transcript with timestamps
Edit speakers to label who said what
Click any line to jump to that moment in the audio/video
4. Use Magic Prompts (AI Analysis)
This is where Speak gets powerful. Click Magic Prompts and ask AI anything about your recording:
"What are the key takeaways?"
"List all action items with owners"
"Summarize this in 5 bullet points"
"What questions were asked?"
Magic Prompts work with Claude, Gemini, and GPT, so you get multi-model AI analysis.
