### Machine learning — Better than keywords

Harness the power of LLMs to identify custom topics in your content even without specific words being used.

### SEO — Improve searchability

Let the right people find your content faster. Add metadata to large volumes of audio to enable better searchability and improve SEO.

Combine Topics with [Sentiment](https://www.speechmatics.com/product/sentiment) to further understand not only what people are speaking about, but their attitudes too.
