Short answer

How can I extract sentiment and topics from interviews?

You submit your audio recordings to Rev.ai, and your AI client pulls the sentiment scores and key topics from the transcripts. This gives you a structured view of participant feelings and recurring themes.

The research outcomes.

What your data becomes.

The AI turns raw audio into organized research insights.

SENTIMENT

Emotional scoring

The AI identifies the tone of the conversation. You get specific scores that show if a participant was frustrated, happy, or neutral.

TOPICS

Key theme extraction

The agent pulls out the recurring subjects discussed. This helps you see which features or pain points come up most often.

TRANSCRIPTS

Textual records

Every recording is converted into text. You can then ask your AI to search for specific quotes or phrases within those transcripts.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You still need to review the results. The AI provides the data, but you decide which insights are actually meaningful for your research.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audio arrives.

The process moves from raw audio to structured insights.
