A week earlier, Hyderabad City Police launched AI-CopWriter, India’s first AI-powered mobile app that enables officers to record, transcribe, and translate complaints in 10 major Indian languages in real time at police stations.
The app was unveiled by Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, IPS, at TGICCC in Banjara Hills. It is designed to help police streamline documentation and report-writing while removing language barriers for complainants.
AI-CopWriter allows citizens to lodge complaints in their mother tongue. The app transcribes and translates spoken words into a complete FIR within seconds. Each exported PDF automatically includes the FIR number, names of the complainant and accused, recording officer’s name and badge ID, police station, and relevant sections of law, ensuring attribution and record integrity.
“Language should never stand between a citizen and justice. With AI-CopWriter, it no longer will,” Commissioner Sajjanar said at the launch. (ANI)
