## About these capabilities

- **Storage & access:** Upload, download, share, and access original files through your mounted Aspect drive.
- **Preview & playback:** View images and documents, or play video and audio in Aspect.
- **Proxies:** Smaller versions generated for playback, previews, or AI processing.
- **Content search:** AI search for media. Text search for documents with extractable text. All files can be found by name.
- **Transcription:** Automatic speech-to-text for files containing spoken audio.
- **Embedded metadata:** Extract technical media information and embedded tags. Available fields depend on the source file.

Processing depends on the codecs and content inside each file. Feature availability also depends on your plan.
