FIELD NOTE
What the camera keeps — and a transcript can miss
A searchable transcript makes long recordings easier to navigate, but responsible analysis still returns to the original footage. Tone, pauses, interruptions and the surrounding exchange can materially change how a statement should be understood.
VIDA.AI keeps research notes connected to their source timestamps so reviewers can examine the full moment before quoting, summarising or publishing.
Keep summaries linked to evidence
Every important note should return reviewers to the relevant recording moment.
Set retention before upload
Define access, purpose and deletion timing before recorded material enters a workflow.
