Welcome to Truthworks. Whether you're reviewing your first interview or building a case timeline, this guide walks you through how to use the platform during a real investigation—from start to finish.

1. Start with an Interview

Once you’ve completed an interrogation or interview using a supported device, Truthworks goes to work in the background—no manual uploads needed.

You’ll receive a notification when:

• The transcript is ready (usually within 1 minute)
• The summary is available (within 1 hour)
• Any self-contradictions or suggested questions have been flagged

2. Review the Summary and Key Moments

Open the interview file and you’ll find:

• A structured summary
• Event Timeline with key actions and statements
• A list of auto-detected contradictions
• Suggested follow-up questions

Need to double-check a moment? Click on the timeline or highlight to jump directly to the video.

3. Use Search to Go Deeper

Want to know more? Open the LASER panel and type a question:

“Where was the victim at 3 am?”
“Show all mentions of a red car.”

Truthworks will respond instantly, showing video, transcript, or image results depending on the query.

4. Add Case Notes or Export Files
