Hedy's audio import feature lets you analyze any recorded conversation just like a live session. Whether it's a voice memo, recorded meeting, or lecture capture, you can easily turn it into a fully analyzed Hedy session.

Supported File Types

Hedy supports common audio and video formats including:

  • Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA

  • Video: MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, WEBM, 3GP, WMV

Audio is processed on your own device, just like with regular sessions.

  3. Select "Hedy AI" from the sharing menu

  4. Choose your session type

  5. Wait for processing to complete

  2. Tap the menu (โ‹ฎ) in the top right

  3. Select "Import Audio File"

  4. Choose your file from your device

  6. Wait for processing to complete

  • Audio import is a Pro feature

After Import

Once processing is complete, your imported audio becomes a regular Hedy session with:

Best Practices

This ensures successful file processing.

Troubleshooting

If your import fails:
