Your workshop analysis and summary, explained
A workshop analysis and summary explained: the four parts RoomRadar can generate from your transcripts, and what each one is for.
RoomRadar records every table's conversation at once, then turns the combined transcripts into a workshop analysis and summary, themes across groups, quotes, and a facilitator-ready report, built automatically once a session ends. An analysis is not one document. It is a set of parts you choose, each built from the same transcripts but shaped for a different use: reading, presenting, or skimming for the headline points.
The four parts of an analysis
When you create an analysis, you pick which parts to generate. There are four:
- Text, a written summary of the discussion, laid out as an editable document.
- Insight report, key themes, questions and takeaways, organized as cards.
- Presentation, a slide deck of the results, ready to edit and export.
- Sketchnote, a hand-drawn visual summary of the workshop.
Text: the written summary
The text part reads the full transcript and writes it up as a structured document, headings, paragraphs, and lists you can read start to finish. It opens in an editor: use Edit to change wording directly, or Export to save it as a Word document. This is the part to reach for when someone needs a plain, shareable write-up rather than a dashboard.
Insight report: themes, quotes, and takeaways
The insight report breaks the workshop into cards, themes, open questions, and recommendations, pulled from what was actually said across your tables. Each card can carry real quotes anchored back to the transcript, so you can click through to see exactly who said what and when. This is the part built for scanning: what came up most, where groups agreed or split, and what to act on next.
Presentation: slides for a debrief
The presentation part turns the analysis into a slide deck, a title slide, theme slides, and a closing summary, all editable like any other deck: move text and image elements, add or duplicate slides. Export it as PDF or PPTX to bring the results into your own stakeholder deck. For running it live in a room, see present your results.
Sketchnote: the visual summary
The sketchnote is a single hand-drawn-style image that maps the workshop's themes visually, useful as a one-glance recap to drop into a report or share on a wall, when a wall of text will not get read.
Creating an analysis
FAQ
No. Pick only what you need, a quick insight report for yourself, or the full set including a presentation and sketchnote for a stakeholder debrief. You can add more sources to an analysis later, too.
Yes. An analysis can be built from more than one conversation, so you can combine several tables or several sessions into a single workshop summary with themes across all of them.
Older analyses that still have a post-it wall keep it. New analyses use the text part instead, it covers the same ground as a written, editable document.
