ChatGPT Cannot Analyze Video or Audio Files - Here’s Why
ChatGPT cannot process, watch, listen to, or analyze video and audio files because it is a text-based interface without access to media file processing, visual recognition, audio analysis, or file upload capabilities beyond static images. It cannot analyze meeting recordings, extract insights from sales calls, detect emotions in videos, or process any multimedia content requiring actual file analysis.
When you need to analyze videos, audio, images, or documents for insights, patterns, and automated reports, you need an AI analyzer with real media processing capabilities, not a text chatbot.

Built to work with a screen reader
The analysis comes back as text, which is the accessible part. Deaf and hard-of-hearing users get a readable transcript with speaker labels and timestamps instead of audio they cannot hear. Blind and low-vision users read the analysis report through NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver rather than watching the video. You can upload a file and open the results with the keyboard alone, no mouse needed, and the summary view distills a long recording into the key points for anyone who would rather not wade through the whole thing.
