232: Building Efficiency for Police Investigations, Case Work, Prosecution, and Records w/ Ben Walker (Ditto Transcripts)

Over-worked, understaffed and resourced.  This isn't just sworn officers, deputies, troopers, and detectives - but our invaluable support staff. Everyone has to manage review of statements, jail calls, data and records compilation.  How do we streamline getting all this audio to text for quicker review and ultimately, what the prosecution will likely require?

Ben Walker joins us to talk about the critical role of data transcription - how dramatic the speed and efficiency can improve by toggling resources to aid in these efforts.  With a highly customizable approach, we discuss the pros and cons of human-generated transcriptions vs. AI, and how these tools can help police and civilian support staff free up their time and bandwidth for more specified, expert level work they want and need to do.
