      Add Your Body‑Worn Camera Transcript to a Report with Video Insights

      TRULEO’s Video Insights feature makes it easier to transform body‑worn camera (BWC) transcripts into polished reports. The process is integrated into the Field Notes interface and uses artificial‑intelligence to summarize BWC footage.

      Overview of the Workflow

      1. Navigate to Field Notes → BWC tab. Locate the call you want to document by looking up the officer’s name along with the date and time of the call.

      2. Confirm the correct call. Selecting a call opens the BWC video and a short summary so you can verify that you’ve chosen the right transcript.

      3. Generate Video Insights. When you’re ready, click Generate Video Insights to automatically summarize the BWC transcript.

      4. Add details and produce a narrative. Once the AI‑generated summary appears, add your primary details in the Digital Notepad, choose a report format and generate your narrative.

      The following sections walk through each step in more detail.

      1. Open Field Notes and identify the call

      1. Launch Field Notes and select the BWC tab. The BWC tab lists all body‑camera calls associated with your agency.

      2. Search for the call you want to report on. You can identify the correct call by filtering or scanning for the officer’s name and the date/time of the incident.

      The BWC tab displays a list of calls with officer names and timestamps, making it easy to locate the relevant incident.

      2. Verify the call details

      1. Select the call from the list. The system opens the call in a split‑screen view: the left side shows the BWC video and summary, while the right side contains your digital notepad.

      2. Review the summary. The tutorial notes that, when you select a call, the body‑camera video and a summary appear to help confirm that you have chosen the correct call transcript. Make sure the summary matches the incident you intend to document (e.g., date, key actions and participants).

      3. Generate Video Insights

      1. Click the “Generate Video Insights” button. This button is available in the BWC screen under the video player. When you select it, TRULEO analyses the BWC transcript and extracts key events, actions and observations. According to the demonstration, you should press the button once you have confirmed the correct call and are ready to create a summary.

      2. Wait for processing. The system may take a few moments to process the transcript. Once complete, the Video Insights tab will automatically open.

      4. Review and edit your report

      After video insights have been generated, the interface updates to show a detailed summary and your digital notepad. This is where you can refine the report:

      1. Review the AI‑generated summary. The Video Insights tab lists numbered bullet points summarising the incident (e.g., type of incident, scene assessment, equipment deployed and outcomes). This summary is automatically derived from the BWC transcript.

      2. Add your own notes. Enter primary details in the Digital Notepad on the right. Include information such as additional observations, names of involved parties and any clarifications not captured by the AI.

      3. Choose a report format and generate a narrative. The tutorial emphasizes that once video insights are added, all that remains is to add your details, choose a format (such as “Enhanced Narrative” or “General Report”) and generate the narrative. The system will then update the enhanced narrative and produce a polished report.

      After generating video insights, the interface displays a bullet‑point summary of the call on the left and a digital notepad on the right. Add your own details and click Generate Narrative to produce the final report.

      Tips for Effective Use

      • Verify the summary before generating the report. Ensure that the AI‑generated bullet points accurately reflect the events captured in the body‑camera footage. If something is missing or incorrect, note it in the digital notepad.

      • Use clear and specific notes. The quality of the final narrative depends on the information you provide. Include dates, times, participant names and key actions.

      • Choose the appropriate format. TRULEO offers different report formats (e.g., enhanced narrative or general report). Select the format that best meets your department’s reporting requirements before generating the final narrative.

      Summary

      TRULEO’s Video Insights simplifies the process of converting body‑worn camera transcripts into structured reports. By locating the call in Field Notes, confirming the correct footage, generating video insights and adding your own details, you can quickly produce a detailed narrative that captures the key elements of an incident. The feature streamlines report writing and ensures that critical information from body‑camera footage is accurately documented
