Use case Focus groups

Make every focus group feel heard, then turn it into trusted insight.

Focus groups get messy fast: crosstalk, many speakers, scattered notes, and hours of manual synthesis. Speak helps you capture, transcribe with speaker separation, edit with confidence, and run bulk analysis across sessions.

Focus groups are high-signal, and high-friction

The best moments are often the hardest to capture: overlap, fast turns, interruptions, and emotion. If your workflow breaks, participants get reduced to half-notes and missed nuance.

Many speakers and crosstalk
Manual transcription and cleanup
Inconsistent naming, tags, and metadata
Hard to compare across sessions

Speak turns it into a repeatable system

Capture in the format that fits the group, generate speaker-separated transcripts, edit confidently, then run bulk analysis and exports for reporting.

Speaker separation (diarization) to reduce confusion
Transcript editor for names, wording, and key quotes
Custom fields for structure and clean datasets
Bulk analysis across many recordings
Note: speaker separation works best with clear audio and good mic placement, especially for larger groups.

Everything you need for multi-speaker complexity

Build trust with participants and stakeholders using clear playback, defensible transcripts, and evidence-linked outputs.

Speaker identification and separation

Separate speakers to make group conversation readable. Quickly rename speakers so the transcript matches your participant list.

High accuracy transcription

Strong transcription quality is the foundation for analysis, search, and reporting. Improve results with clean audio capture and language selection.

Transcript editing for defensibility

Fix misheard terms, clarify speaker labels, and clean up key quotes so insights can be defended with confidence.

Bulk analysis across sessions

Run themes, summaries, sentiment, and structured outputs across many recordings so you can compare groups and spot patterns faster.

Custom fields for clean data

Organize by group, date, moderator, segment, location, product, cohort, or study ID so exports and analysis stay consistent.

Exports, playback, and evidence sharing

Share playback and transcripts with stakeholders, export structured outputs, and keep an evidence trail from insight to source.

Audio and video supported

Work with audio-only groups or full video sessions. Keep a single library for review, quoting, and reporting.

Security and privacy controls

Keep research sensitive. Access, sharing, and handling practices are designed for real-world team collaboration and client delivery.

Capture focus groups the way your study runs

Start with the simplest option, then scale up when you need more automation and repeatability.

Upload audio or video

Drag and drop recordings from any device. Great for agencies and teams that already have capture handled.

Works for one-off or high-volume projects
Playback + transcript side-by-side
Exports for reporting and analysis

In-person recording with mobile apps

Record in-person sessions with Android and iOS, then transcribe and analyze inside Speak.

Tip: for larger groups, better mic placement improves speaker separation.

AI Meeting Assistant for online groups

For virtual focus groups, use the Meeting Assistant to capture calls and create a searchable session library over time.

Embeddable recorder for async groups

Collect structured audio and video submissions when you cannot run live sessions. Use custom fields to keep cohorts clean.
