Notes
The Justice Department's 2025 AI use case inventory (entry DOJ-0193, as consolidated by the Office of Management and Budget) lists 'Speech to Text Managed Service - Voice Transcription to Text' as deployed. The entry says the service, built on Microsoft and OpenAI technology, transcribes audio files and can summarise them, to reduce turnaround times and the need for contracted transcription. It gives an operational date of April 2024 and classes the use as not high-impact. The entry files the use under law enforcement but does not say which recordings are transcribed.
