The widespread push to automate traditional work is consistently becoming essential
for professionals across various field. The Statement Creation Tool is a web solution
that resolves the necessity to digitise the manual typing-process involved with
conducting interviews in person and producing a formal statement oƯ documented
information. This solution was requested by Josh Massoud, an independent private
investigator specialising in insurance fraud investigations and designated industry
partner. The application originally existed as a web platform, but according to Josh, was
not considered suitable for professional use. The initial version of the application
focused on transcribing recordings in real-time, summarising the transcription and
generating a statement as in-browser text. Since receiving this version of the
application, the industry partner had opted to expedite their investigative workflow with
pre-prepared questionnaires filled out by clients.
The successive version of this application underwent an overhaul of revisions. These
revisions include: the omission of using SparkNLP and AI generated summaries, the
update of the Whisper AI Local model to the OpenAI Whisper AI API facilitating speechto-text transcription, the introduction of statement generation using OpenAI’s GPT-4o AI
API, the inclusion of uploading questionnaire and audio recording files for statement
generation, and the exportation of transcription and statement files as Microsoft Word
documents using python-docx, and audio recording files as .wav files. Overall, the
application was built on Nuxt.js frontend and Django REST backend frameworks, and
the MariaDB database; hosted in Docker as the development environment. This
solution meets the dynamic trends and needs of the industry partner that evolve
continuously alongside a business environment. The application supports investigative
reporting through multimodal AI-powered statement generation, improving both
efficiency and decision-quality
