What types of files does the system support?

Only editors and admins are allowed to add files when creating a post. A post is allowed to have multiple files added. Users can access this setting within the Files tab when creating a post. The following headers will show the type of files Sharpr’s system supports.

Note: The primary (or summary) report should be the first document added, followed by supporting documents and graphics. This way the AI summary can be generated from the primary document.

If it is another file type (not listed above):

  • If video transcription is on, then those file types get transcoded into mp4 that is playable in the browser.
  • If video transcription is off, videos are not transcoded. There is a ticket to make those independent settings.

Note: Sharpr can only play .mp4 and .m4v files in the browser.
