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. The app supports 10 Indian languages with auto-detection, works on iOS and Android, and offers transcribe and translate modes. It identifies multiple speakers, updates output every 5 seconds, and maintains a searchable archive by FIR number or name. Records are exported as tamper-evident PDFs. Police said the initiative is aimed at making services more accessible to migrants and non-Telugu speakers, reducing the time taken to file complaints from hours to seconds, and improving record accuracy. Officials noted that verbatim capture of statements would enhance the quality of investigations and case outcomes. The app will be rolled out across 80+ police stations in the city. It is expected to reduce dependence on human interpreters and standardise record-keeping across units. AI-CopWriter is the latest addition to Hyderabad Police's AI-driven policing agenda. The department already uses C-Mitra for drafting cybercrime complaints, an AI system for duty allocation of City Armed Reserve personnel to ensure transparent and unbiased postings, and SOCEYE, an AI platform for monitoring online content and identifying narratives that threaten public order or women's safety. The app was developed with technical support from Bluecloud Softech Solutions and intern Chandu, in coordination with the IT Cell of Hyderabad City Police. (ANI)
