Document support is out of beta. Here is everything you can do.

Reduct lets you search across hours of recordings, highlight clips, summarize interviews, and share moments with your team. But your work has always involved more than video and audio, so we have added support for documents and images to the platform.

Now Reduct can hold all your files. It supports .txt, .pdf, .docx, .pptx, .xls, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and a wide variety of other formats.

We tested it quietly with a small group of customers and incorporated their feedback before opening it up more widely. Today, we’re taking the feature out of beta and making it available to Enterprise users at no additional cost through the end of 2026.

Note: Documents support is currently available for Enterprise clients only. Please reach out to support@reduct.video if you don’t have access and would like to!

Here's a full walkthrough of what you can do:

Batch upload at scale

Upload PDFs, Word docs, images, and videos all at once. Whether you're working with a large research repository, a project archive, or materials from multiple sources, you can drag them all in.

Note: If your upload gets interrupted, drag the folder in again. Reduct skips files it has already uploaded, so you don’t have to worry about uploading the same thing twice.

Add metadata to stay organized

You can add descriptions, labels, and colors to each document during upload or after upload completion. This is particularly useful when you’re managing a large project and want to find things quickly later without digging through everything.

Search for terms across your entire project

Search for any word or phrase, and Reduct surfaces every match across every document in your project. This feature is especially useful for finding a phrase or a name used across a large set of files.

Summarize any document

You’ve learnt to rely on the ability to summarize recordings. Naturally, you can do the same with documents.

Thematic: Ask Reduct for a thematic summary from the Interact menu. You get the key ideas organized by topic, each with a page number you can click to jump straight to that section.

Custom: Write your own questions, and Reduct pulls answers directly from the document. Custom summary is useful when you already know what you're looking for and don't need to read through the whole file.

Batch summarize many documents at once

You can run both summary types across every document in your project at once. You can either generate a thematic summary or write a set of questions and run them across every document at once. Batch summary can help you spot patterns across a large body of material and prioritize where to focus your attention.

Ask questions directly to a document

If you want to go deeper into a single file, you can ask it a question. Reduct pulls the answers directly from the document, so you don’t have to re-read pages just to find one specific thing.

Highlight, color-code, and label what matters

You can highlight parts of a document in different colors to organize and categorize content. You can also attach labels to specific sections to theme content or prepare it for sharing with your team. This makes it easy for you to scan through important bits without rereading the whole document.

Invite your whole team

Sharing documents in Reduct is straightforward. Use the invite flow to bring your team into the Reduct project. Everyone works on the same project, with access to the same documents, highlights, and labels.

Download any document from anywhere

With all your files in a secure cloud space, you can access and download from any device. Your documents live in Reduct alongside your video and audio, so you only have one repository for everything.

We've been working on Documents for a while, and we're glad it's finally out.

If you're an Enterprise customer, it should already be in your workspace. If you don't have access to it yet, reach out, and we'll get it set up for you.

We are continuing to improve and extend what you can do with documents in Reduct. We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any ideas.
