Live feed

Every transmission appears as it's recorded, with its transcript a few seconds later. Each card shows the channel, the unit (from your radio aliases), and badges for emergency button presses and words the speech engine was unsure of. Use Listen live to hear a source, and Instant recall (Reliability pack) to replay the last minutes of any source, even traffic that wasn't cut into transmissions.

Incidents

Transmissions are grouped into incidents automatically. An incident page has:

  • the timeline: dispatch, arrival, water on the fire, primary search, under control, PAR, MAYDAY and emergency traffic, each linked to the transmission it came from;
  • units heard, and your notes and bookmarks;
  • recording gaps, so you know if any part wasn't recorded;
  • playback tools: speed, voice filter and volume boost.

Officers can correct transcripts, confirm or reject detected events, and add events the system missed. Every change is logged.

If a clip is taking too long to transcribe (a long stretch of noise, say), choose Cancel next to its transcribing or queued badge. The audio is kept; ⋯ → Transcribe again transcribes it later. Admins can cancel everything waiting at once under Admin → System status → Cancel all waiting transcriptions.

Review queue

Review lists events and transcripts that need a person's eyes, newest first. Working through it keeps your reports accurate.

Reports

  • Trends: response benchmarks over time, with your own targets.
  • Compliance: how often each benchmark met its target, by month.
  • Monthly and annual chief's reports: emailed automatically if you like.
  • After-action report: a printable report for one incident.
  • Recording gaps: every period a source wasn't recording.

Search and export

Search every transcript by word, unit, channel or date. Export incidents to CSV or NFIRS-ready JSON, or set up scheduled exports to a folder or SFTP server for your RMS.

Privacy

EMS channels are hidden from people without permission to see them, and their content is never sent anywhere. Admins choose who can export, and the activity log records who viewed and exported what.
