Transcripts on the evidence details page

The Auto-Transcript appears on the Transcript tab of the evidence details page for users with specific permissions. If you have permission to view the evidence, but the Auto-Transcribe permission is not enabled for your Role, you will only see the transcript if one has been generated for that piece of evidence. For more information, see Auto-Transcribe permissions.

Transcript-related actions you can take include:

The image contains two screenshots of the evidence details page, each showing a body-worn camera video on the left and transcript details on the right. In the top screenshot, the yellow highlights indicate the Transcript tab button and the View Transcript button in the Overview tab. In the bottom screenshot, the Transcript tab is opened, showing the transcript summary, keywords, and timestamped speaker entries.

AI transcript summary

An AI Transcript Summary is displayed at the top of the Transcript tab once a transcript has been generated for that piece of evidence. This brief summary is AI-generated and contains around 100 words. It summarizes the events that occurred in the transcript, including who was involved and when the event occurred.

Please note when viewing the summary:

  • AI is used to analyze the source audio transcripts. Because the generated summaries may contain errors or miss relevant details, be sure to review the source evidence.
  • AI summaries are designed for quick evidence review and cannot be edited in the same fashion as the transcript.
  • AI summaries can only be generated for evidence files that have audio comprised of understandable words and a resulting transcript containing at least 100 words. Summaries cannot be created for images, documents, and video frames.

To help Axon improve this feature, select the More Actions [...] menu to indicate if the summary contains useful or not useful content.

Jump to a moment using the Auto-Transcript

Auto-Transcripts are time-synced with the video or audio file. As you play a file, the blue word in the transcript aligns to the current point in playback.

To jump to a specific moment in the file, select a word or timestamp in the Auto-Transcript.
The image shows the Evidence Details page displaying a body-worn camera recording. The Transcript tab on the right shows synchronized dialogue from the video, with a highlighted section matching the video's timestamp. A yellow arrow connects the video's timeline marker to the corresponding transcript entry, emphasizing the link between the video and its transcript.

Search the Auto-Transcript

When viewing the Auto-Transcript from the evidence detail page, use the search box that appears above the transcript to find where specific words were spoken in the evidence.

The system searches for exact matches after each character is entered. Matches are highlighted in the Auto-Transcript. If the Auto-Transcript contains more than one match, the number of matches displays beside your search term. Use the arrows to jump up and down to each occurrence of that search term.

If your search term does not appear in the Auto-Transcript, the number of matches displays 0/0 and the arrows are inactive.
The image shows the transcript panel on the Evidence Details page with the search function in use. The search term scooter is entered in the search bar, and multiple instances of the word are highlighted in the transcript. A yellow box emphasizes the search bar and the highlighted words within the transcript.

Search with common keywords

During processing, the system searches the Auto-Transcript for common keywords. These words are shown above the Auto-Transcript. The number in parentheses beside the word indicates how many times that word appears in the Auto-Transcript. Select +Number to reveal additional words.

Select a word to highlight all instances of that word in the Auto-Transcript. The word will appear in the search box, and you can use the arrows to jump between each instance.

You can also search for keywords across multiple pieces of evidence, either from the Evidence search page or a case page.
The image shows the Transcript tab on the Evidence Details page. A yellow box emphasizes the common keywords section that appears below the search bar, which includes various terms, displaying the number of times each term appears in the transcript.

View Miranda warnings

The Miranda Warning Detector automatically creates a marker in the media when Auto-Transcribe detects that a Miranda warning is spoken. The detection happens automatically while a file is Auto-Transcribed.

Warning

The ability to detect a Miranda warning is directly correlated to the quality of the associated Auto-Transcript and is not 100% accurate. The Miranda Warning Detector is enabled for all Auto-Transcribe customers in the United States.

The image shows the evidence details page with a body-worn camera video displayed and the Transcript tab open. A yellow callout highlights a Suggested Moment labeled Miranda Warning detected by Auto-Transcribe along the timeline below the video. The corresponding section in the transcript contains a spoken Miranda warning.
