Import to Aha! Discovery

Workspace contributors can import transcripts and videos directly to create interview records in Aha! Discovery. Transcripts must be in VTT, DOC, or DOCX format. Videos must be in MP4 format.

To import a transcript or video file:

  • Navigate to the interview and open its Details view.

  • Click Upload transcript or Import video to import your file. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file into the box that says Drop video or transcript here to upload.

The transcript will load in the main body of the interview's Details page. From here, you can manually highlight insights or use AI-powered transcript analysis (available in Aha! Discovery Advanced) to capture key learnings, analyze sentiment, and more.

The video will display in the upper-left corner of the interview's Details page. When you play the video, dialogue will be underlined in the transcript so you can follow along.
