You get handed massive interrogation files. Most of it is just your client sitting alone, waiting, dozing off. Nothing is happening. But buried somewhere in the footage are a few moments that matter: a statement, a violation of rights- key moments you can build a defense around.
Previously, finding these needles in a haystack meant sifting through endless interrogation videos.
Reduct’s summarization helps you zip through the silences to surface key moments faster, giving you a clear entry point for deeper review.
Get to the key parts of interrogation quickly
Step 1. Upload the interrogation videos and get their transcripts
Drag and drop your interrogation videos into the left-hand side panel in Reduct.
Transcripts will be ready in around 15 minutes. These transcripts are timestamped and interactive, so you can click on any part to jump directly to that moment in the recording.
Get a custom AI summary of the interrogation
You can now use the interrogation transcript to generate a custom AI summary.
Go to Interact > Custom.
A pop-up box will appear. Type in the questions you want the summary to answer in the box. Make sure Save custom summary to project is checked so you can reuse it for other interrogation videos.
Then click on Generate a summary.
This will give you summaries that engage with the questions that matter most to your case, with each point timestamped so you can verify details. You can also scan through silences at up to 3x speed to get through them faster.
Reduct also provides pre-made general template questions for interrogation videos that you can customize and get a custom summary. To access the templates, go to Interact > Templates > Select a template > Interrogation > General template.
