Extract themes with traceable evidence, not guesswork.
Speak turns audio, video, and text into searchable transcripts and structured analysis - then helps you generate themes, pull quotes, and build defensible findings you can share with stakeholders.
Start your 7-day trial with free transcription + AI analysis (30 minutes, or 30 minutes with a work email).
A thematic analysis workflow that holds up under review
Whether you’re doing academic research, client work, or internal qualitative discovery, the goal is the same: move faster while staying grounded in evidence.
Bring in interviews, focus groups, and field recordings - fast
Upload audio and video (single or bulk), keep everything organized by folder, project, or client.
Use consistent naming, tags, and metadata so analysis stays clean and comparable across rounds.
Ideal for research firms, student projects, and teams running iterative qualitative studies.
Capture stakeholder interviews and moderated sessions automatically
Use the meeting assistant to record, transcribe, and summarize calls without manual uploads.
Build a searchable library of sessions so your team can review evidence, pull quotes, and align faster.
Great for discovery interviews, customer research, advisory boards, and internal insights programs.
Analyze open-ended survey responses at scale
Import text from surveys and forms using CSV, then run consistent thematic extraction across thousands of rows.
Attach custom fields (cohort, region, role, study wave) so you can slice themes by subgroup.
Use this for voice-of-customer programs, academic coding assignments, and longitudinal research.
Accurate transcripts with timestamps for defensible analysis
Get high-quality transcripts with timestamps so you can jump from theme to evidence instantly.
Make review easier by keeping the original audio/video connected to the transcript.
Export transcripts when needed for methods appendices, QA, or client delivery.
Multilingual support for global studies
Work across 160+ languages and keep all transcripts, notes, and findings in one place.
Translate transcripts when needed, then run the same thematic workflow across regions.
Useful for global research firms, international student teams, and multi-country programs.
Generate themes and sub-themes with grounded quotes
Extract key themes, label them clearly, and attach supporting quotes so the “why” is visible.
Use repeatable prompts so your coding approach stays consistent across files and study waves.
Move from raw transcript to stakeholder-ready insights without losing traceability.
Turn qualitative data into structured datasets (codebook-ready)
Create custom fields for what matters in your methodology: concepts, ratings, attributes, or categories.
Extract those fields consistently across files, then export as CSV/JSON for reporting or further analysis.
Ideal when you need transparent structure for clients, supervisors, or downstream quant work.
Traceability built in - go from theme to evidence in one click
Keep the transcript and the original audio/video connected, with timestamps for quick verification.
When stakeholders ask “where did this come from?”, you can point to exact moments and supporting quotes.
Designed for research teams who need defensible analysis, review workflows, and confidence in accuracy.
Synthesize across interviews and focus groups (not just one file)
Ask questions across multiple transcripts to surface shared patterns, contradictions, and edge cases.
Accelerate your analysis without losing nuance by keeping outputs tied back to source quotes and timestamps.
Useful for thematic analysis, grounded summaries, and rapid insight generation for reports.
Compare themes by cohort, region, or study wave
Use metadata and custom fields (role, segment, location, wave) to compare what different groups are saying.
Spot emerging themes over time and quantify directional shifts without losing the underlying evidence.
Great for longitudinal research, program evaluation, and segmented user research.
Turn analysis into briefs, reports, and stakeholder-ready summaries
Generate clean deliverables like executive summaries, theme tables, key quotes, and action items.
Keep your reporting consistent by reusing the same prompt packs and structure across projects.
Ideal for research firms delivering client work, and students building methods-based writeups.
Create a research repository your team can trust and revisit
Store transcripts, recordings, themes, and outputs in one searchable workspace across projects and clients.
Reduce repeated work by making past research discoverable - not lost in folders, drives, or emails.
Useful for research teams building institutional knowledge and repeatable insight generation.
Export transcripts, themes, and datasets for reporting or audit
Export transcripts for appendices, share theme outputs for client decks, or pull structured data for analysis.
Keep your workflow flexible without forcing your team into one reporting format.
Useful when you need shareable deliverables, backup copies, or downstream processing.
Security and privacy for sensitive research workflows
When you’re handling interviews and human data, security is not optional. Speak is built for privacy-first workflows.
Control access, keep projects organized, and support higher-trust environments for clients, academic teams, and internal research groups.
