Import Content - Upload Audio Files (Coming Soon)

Modified on Fri, 11 Apr at 7:25 PM

Description

The Upload Audio Files feature WILL ALLOW users to import individual or grouped audio recordings directly into the Contesimal Uploader. This functionality supports Contesimal’s core mission of helping users organize, contextualize, and monetize their content—especially in audio-rich formats such as podcasts, interviews, or narrated content.

By integrating audio into the platform, users will eventually be able to:

Leverage AI to transcribe and summarize audio.
Organize audio content just like text documents.
Use AI tools to extract insights or even generate monetizable content from voice data.

This feature is labeled as "Coming Soon" and not currently active.
