Search and analyse a debate
On a meeting’s page, the Transcription tab finds a word and the Summary tab gives you a different reading of the same sitting.
Find a passage, then ask for the reading you need.
In detail
A three-hour hearing is worked in two steps: you search, then you ask for a reading. Both happen on the meeting page.
Searching the transcript
Open the Transcription tab. Its search field highlights your occurrences and moves you from one to the next. Each block carries its timecode: one click positions the video on the passage.
Asking for another reading
In the Summary tab, the Style field offers four readings of the same sitting:
| Style | The question it answers |
|---|---|
| Factual recap | What was said? |
| Political readout | What do these debates mean? |
| Flash | What to know right now? |
| Actor positions | Who said what? |
The Issues field steers the reading: write there what you are looking for, for example “biogas, anaerobic digestion, entry into force”. It is pre-filled with the policy priorities from your profile if you have switched that option on in your preferences. Every request is kept: you can go back to an earlier version and compare two readings of the same sitting.
Three requests that pay off
- A Flash the same evening, to tell your management in a few lines what happened.
- A Political readout before a meeting, to arrive with the balance of forces already read.
- Actor positions with your policy priorities, to know who defended what on your precise file.
Automatic summary and tailored summary
An automatic summary of the sitting is produced as soon as the transcript is complete, and it is shown at every licence level, Essentiel and Pro alike. With the Pro plan you no longer just read it: you steer the reading. You choose a style, you state your policy priorities, you ask again, and you compare two readings of the same sitting.
For the European Commission’s public consultations, each contribution carries its own summary and, with the Pro plan, you can question the assistant on those contributions, where it is offered.
