Zark processes audio and video files to understand spoken content, visual moments, and time-based information.

How Media Processing Works

When media files are processed, Zark:
  1. Identifies media type and extracts audio
  2. Generates transcript with timestamps
  3. Analyzes content for structure, intent, and important moments
  4. Indexes everything for natural language search
Processing runs automatically. No manual configuration is required.

What Gets Extracted

Each media file produces searchable data:

Transcripts

Every spoken word is captured with timestamps. Speaker attribution is included when possible.

  • Decisions
  • Action items

How AI Interprets Media

AI interpretation enables:
  • Finding what was said by meaning, not exact words
  • Locating moments by topic or event
  • Identifying speakers and their statements
  • Understanding visual content alongside audio
See How Indexing Works for how media is indexed.

What Becomes Searchable

After processing, media becomes searchable by:
  • Topics discussed
  • People mentioned
  • Events and decisions
  • Specific moments and timestamps
Search automatically combines semantic understanding, entity detection, moment classification, and exact phrase matching. See Search & Discovery for how search works.
