Understanding your analysis
Every conversation Perceive8 captures — a live meeting or an uploaded recording — produces an analysis. This page walks you through what you're looking at, so you can find the insight you came for in seconds.
The analyses list
Open Audio → Analyses to see every conversation in your workspace. Each row shows:
- Name (click to rename inline) with the source platform and a Stream badge for live captures
- Language of the conversation
- Score out of 100, when a playbook was active
- Status —
Queued,Processing,Streaming,Ready, orFailed - Star — mark important analyses, then use the starred filter to see only those
While anything is processing, the list refreshes automatically every few seconds — no need to reload.
The analysis page
Click any analysis to open it. The page is organized in three areas:
Center: audio and transcript
- An audio player with a waveform — play, pause, and skip ±10 seconds
- Key moments / chapters that jump the player to the important parts
- The full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps — click any line to jump the audio to that moment
Left: overview
Conversation metadata (date, duration, source, language) and the headline score when a playbook was active.
Right: insight panels
A vertical tab strip opens the panels where the real value lives:
| Panel | What's inside |
|---|---|
| Scorecard | Overall score, sub-scores (talk ratio, alert load), issues overview, and an executive summary |
| Actions | Issues found and recommended next steps from the report |
| Topics | Topics discussed and entities mentioned (people, companies, products) |
| Intelligence | Emotion heatmap, sentiment arc over time, and speaker diarization timeline |
| Playbooks | Generate and view Aria reports for this conversation |
| Speakers | Speaker breakdown and management |
| Aria | Summary and risks at a glance, plus a chat panel — ask anything about the conversation |
| Alerts | Alerts raised during a live stream, with a count badge |
Getting answers fast
Three patterns cover most of what people do with an analysis:
- "What happened?" — read the executive summary in the Scorecard panel, or the Summary tab in the Aria panel.
- "Where did they say X?" — scan the transcript or chapters, click the line, and listen to the exact moment.
- "What should we do next?" — open the Actions panel for recommended next steps, or generate a full report from the Playbooks panel to share with your team.
You can also just ask. The Aria panel's chat answers questions like "what were the customer's objections?" or "draft a follow-up email" with the conversation as context.
Sharing and exporting
Use the export actions to download the transcript or the full analysis for sharing outside Perceive8. For CRM-driven workflows, connect HubSpot or another integration to sync outcomes automatically.
If something looks wrong
- Stuck on
Processing— long recordings take longer; if it's been over 15 minutes for a short file, contact support. Failedstatus — the file may be corrupt or in an unsupported format; see supported formats and try again.- Missing score — no playbook was active for this conversation. Activate one under Audio → Playbooks and it applies to the next capture. See Scoring with playbooks.
