Details

Echo is a web-based tool used by Royal Canadian Mounted Police employees to automatically transcribe and translate lawfully obtained audio and video recordings into formatted transcripts. It is built on open-source large language models and is deployed internally for government employees, not the general public. Recordings processed by the system may contain personal information about individuals captured in those recordings.
