The entry describes a pilot, with MIT Lincoln Laboratory named as vendor, that transcribes and translates Spanish and Mandarin audio from lawfully seized devices and authorised communications, with speaker separation and analyst-defined term search. It gives a start date of January 2024 and classes the use as high-impact.",
