Upload Multiple Files

Sometimes a meeting is recorded in multiple parts — for example, because a break was taken or different agenda items were recorded separately. With multi-upload, you upload all parts as one combined session.

How It Works

Open the upload dialog

Via the plus button or drag-and-drop onto the project page.
Choose the mode

In the upload dialog, select: “One session from multiple files” instead of “Separate sessions”.
Add files

Select all files. You can mix different formats (e.g., MP3 + MP4).
Set the order

Files can be dragged and dropped into the correct order. The order determines how the combined transcript is structured.
Upload

All files are uploaded in parallel. Each is transcribed individually. Once all transcripts are ready, they are automatically merged into a combined transcript.

Multiple files as separate sessions

If each audio or video file should become its own session, choose “Separate sessions” in the dialog. This is especially useful for podcast or webinar archives.

You can drag matching transcript files into the same upload. StoryVault matches SRT, VTT, and TXT files by the same base filename:

Media file	Transcript
`episode-01.mp3`	`episode-01.srt`
`episode-02.m4a`	`episode-02.vtt`
`episode-03.mp4`	`episode-03.txt`

For each unambiguous pair, StoryVault creates a separate session, imports the existing transcript, and does not start a new automatic transcription. Ambiguous pairs, for example episode-01.srt and episode-01.vtt at the same time, are not guessed and must be corrected separately.

Combined Transcript

After merging, the following are available:

Combined transcript — all parts in one continuous text
Auto-summary — a summary spanning all parts
AI chat — ask questions about the entire conversation (Module: AI)
Download — as TXT, SRT, or VTT

In the Media tab, you can still see the individual original files with their respective filenames.

Adding Recordings Later

You can also add more recordings to an existing session:

Open the session
Click ”+ Recording” or drag a file onto the session page
Set the position in the order

The combined transcript is automatically recreated.
