Use Speak AI with ChatGPT — Transcription & Analysis in ChatGPT
Bring AI transcription, NLP analytics, and media search into ChatGPT. Upload recordings, analyze meetings, and search across your entire media library through conversation.
What you can do
Connect Speak AI to ChatGPT and turn it into a full transcription, search, and analysis workspace. No switching tabs, no file exports, no copy-pasting.
Transcribe audio and video
Yes, ChatGPT can analyze audio files when connected to Speak AI. Upload any recording and get transcripts, sentiment analysis, themes, and action items. Supports MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, and dozens of other formats in 70+ languages with automatic speaker detection.
Search across recordings
Find specific quotes, topics, or moments across your entire media library from ChatGPT. Ask "What did the customer say about pricing?" and get results from every relevant recording, with timestamps and speaker labels.
Analyze patterns
Compare themes across multiple interviews, track sentiment over time, and identify trends in customer feedback. Speak AI's NLP runs automatically on every file, so ChatGPT can pull structured data like keywords, entities, and topics without reprocessing.
Automate workflows
Schedule meeting bots to join your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls. Organize recordings into folders. Export transcripts as PDF, DOCX, SRT, or plain text. Build end-to-end workflows entirely through conversation.

ChatGPT + Speak AI use cases
Whether you work with interviews, meetings, lectures, or customer calls, ChatGPT becomes a more useful tool when it can access your recordings.
Researchers
Transcribe and code interview data
Upload qualitative interviews and let ChatGPT transcribe them through Speak AI. Then ask it to find themes across dozens of recordings, pull direct quotes by topic, or compare responses between participant groups. Speak AI handles the NLP so ChatGPT can reason over structured data instead of raw audio.
Marketers
Analyze customer calls for messaging insights
Connect your customer call library to ChatGPT. Ask it to track brand sentiment over time, find the exact language customers use to describe their problems, or compare feedback between segments. Use those insights to write landing pages, emails, and ad copy that matches how your audience actually talks.
Students
Transcribe lectures and search your notes
Record your lectures and upload them to Speak AI. Then use ChatGPT to search for specific topics across an entire semester of recordings. Ask "What did my professor say about mitochondrial DNA?" and get the answer with a timestamp, so you can go back and review.
Business owners
Get meeting summaries and track action items
Schedule the Speak AI meeting bot to join your calls automatically. After each meeting, ask ChatGPT for a summary with decisions and action items. Search across past meetings to find what was discussed about a project, a client, or a deadline. Never miss a follow-up again.
Can ChatGPT analyze audio files?
Yes. ChatGPT can analyze audio files when connected to a transcription tool like Speak AI through MCP (Model Context Protocol). On its own, ChatGPT has limited audio capabilities. It can handle short voice messages and some basic audio input, but it cannot transcribe long recordings, identify different speakers, run sentiment analysis, or search across a library of files. When you connect Speak AI, all of that becomes available directly inside ChatGPT.
MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants like ChatGPT connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it like giving ChatGPT access to a specialized app. Instead of copying transcripts into the chat window, ChatGPT can call Speak AI's 81 tools directly: upload a file, get the transcript, pull NLP analytics, search across recordings, and export results. All through normal conversation.
Uploading audio to ChatGPT directly vs. using Speak AI
When you upload an audio file to ChatGPT by itself, you get a basic transcript of that one file. There is no speaker identification, no persistent storage, and no way to search across multiple recordings later. If you close the conversation, the transcript is gone.
When you use Speak AI through ChatGPT, the experience is completely different. Every file you upload gets stored in your Speak AI library with automatic transcription in 70+ languages, speaker diarization (who said what), sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, topic detection, and named entity recognition. That data stays in your account and is searchable from any future ChatGPT conversation.
The real advantage shows up when you have more than a handful of recordings. A researcher with 50 interviews can ask ChatGPT to find every mention of a specific theme across all of them. A sales manager can track how customer sentiment changed quarter over quarter. A student can search six months of lecture recordings for a specific concept before an exam. None of that is possible with ChatGPT alone.
What ChatGPT can do with Speak AI connected
With the integration active, you can ask ChatGPT to transcribe audio or video files in over 70 languages. It identifies speakers automatically, so you know who said what. You can ask follow-up questions about any recording: "What were the action items?", "Summarize the key decisions", or "What topics came up most often?" Speak AI's NLP runs on every file automatically, so ChatGPT can access structured analytics without reprocessing.
The search capability is particularly useful. Instead of opening each recording individually, you can ask ChatGPT to search your entire library: "Find all mentions of the new pricing model across last month's customer calls." Results come back with timestamps, speaker labels, and context, so you can jump straight to the relevant moment.
You can also manage your workflow entirely through conversation. Schedule the AI meeting assistant to join your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls. Organize recordings into folders. Create highlight clips from specific time ranges. Export transcripts as PDF, DOCX, SRT subtitles, or plain text. All without leaving ChatGPT.
Supported formats and languages
Speak AI supports all major audio and video formats: MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WEBM, AVI, MOV, and more. You can upload files directly or provide a URL from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, or other platforms. Transcription is available in over 70 languages with automatic language detection, and speaker diarization works across all supported languages.
Getting started for different use cases
If you are a researcher looking to analyze qualitative data in ChatGPT, start with our guide to using ChatGPT for audio files. For podcast producers, see ChatGPT for podcast episodes. If you work with video content, check out ChatGPT for video files. Each guide walks through specific workflows for that use case.
For teams that also use Claude, the Claude integration works the same way and is fully available today. Both integrations share the same Speak AI account with the same media library, so your data is accessible from whichever AI assistant you prefer. You can explore all available connections on the integrations hub.
