AI Transcription and Translation of Investigative and Operational Material
Speech recognition and machine translation used by law enforcement and border agencies to transcribe recordings and translate documents and conversations.
Law enforcement and border agencies use speech-to-text and machine translation to transcribe interviews, intercepted or seized audio and recorded video, to translate documents and to support officers who lack an interpreter in the field.
The federal inventory entries recorded here describe tools built on commercial and open-source models. Outputs are described as drafts or inputs that staff review before use.
