What happens after upload

Audio and video files are processed automatically. Klang converts the file, transcribes the speech with speaker identification, applies spell checking, and extracts key points. Documents such as PDFs and Word files are analyzed for key points and made searchable.

You receive a notification when processing is complete. The file then appears in your selected folder, ready to use in analyses.
