Opus 2 AI Analysis can perfom automatic summarisation of transcripts. Transcript summary provides a text-based summary of a single transcript. No contextual information beyond what exists in the transcript text itself is added to a summary.
Transcript summary can be done for any transcript from the Documents page as well as for an individual transcript from within the transcript viewer.
Summarising a transcript
- On the AI Analysis tab of the Details Panel or Transcript Viewer, select the Transcript summary option. Select one of the following choices of summary type from the dropdown menu:
- General - A 600 word summary of the transcript.
- Narrative - A concise summary in a story-like format.
- Page line - A detailed overview of the transcript.
- Topical - Groups related information together.
- Q&A - Presents the deposition in a simple question and answer structure.
- Select from the References dropdown menu to choose between the following choice of reference displays:
- None - Displays only the AI results without any references.
- Related - Identifies and provides a section of the source transcript that matches the language of the AI result, showing relevance to the result.
- Sources - Requests the AI tool to validate the result, providing fewer, more focused sections as evidence.
- All - Combines both Related and Sources references for a comprehensive set of supporting citations.
- When Related references are shown, hover over a page link to see a percentage number related to the relevance of the result:
The relevance percentage score shows how closely a specific section (or "chunk") of text in the transcript matches the AI generated paragraph. There may be several matches within a single transcript. AI Analysis analyses the meaning and context, not just the exact words so a higher percentage, like 80%, means that a particular section is a strong match.
Since each page may contain several sections, you may see multiple relevance scores for different parts of the same page, referring to different chunks of content. This helps pinpoint the most relevant sections within a page more accurately.
- Select a source page while in the transcript viewer> Transcript summary to take you directly to that section in your transcript with the source passages highlighted.
