Opening a proceeding
Video, whole statements, official and recording text, and the session timeline.
The Detailed view integrates the video player with content analysis panels. Selecting a card from the main list opens the detailed view. Scrolling the recording synchronizes the displayed transcript fragment currently being spoken, and selecting text jumps the video to the corresponding moment.
View layout
The screen is divided into two columns:
- Left column — the video player, with the Advisor summary card (the session summary) below it.
- Right column — the transcription panel, with access to the Timeline and the Polished version when available.
In a narrow panel, the transcript appears below the player. Playback highlights matched text; a statement's play button or a timeline point opens the corresponding moment. Statements without a confirmed recording match have no playback button.
Video player
The interface automatically adapts to the session state:
- Ongoing sessions — a live stream sourced from the official Sejm channel.
- Past sessions — an archival recording with free scrolling capability.
- Scheduled sessions — the broadcast will begin once it starts on the official Sejm channel; the message "Scheduled — analysis will be available once the session begins" is displayed.
In the top left corner of the player, a button enables face overlays, which label speakers recognized in the frame.
Advisor summary — the session summary
Below the player, in the left column, the Advisor summary card is displayed. It is built from the full, in-depth analysis of the recording and serves as a quick overview of the entire session's content without having to read the transcript from the beginning. The card contains:
- Editorial title — a concise framing of the session's main topic.
- Course description — a narrative summary of the most important threads, points of contention, and resolutions.
The card appears only after the in-depth analysis (Enhanced Record) has been generated; while it is running, a progress indicator is shown, and for a live broadcast alone (Record Analysis) the summary is not available.
Transcription panel
The panel shows the available text of the proceeding. During a live broadcast, or before an official transcript is attached, it shows the recording transcription with speaker labels. Recognized stakeholders have a profile; unrecognized speakers have a temporary identifier, such as Speaker 3.
Statements and recording
When an official transcript is available for an archival recording, Transcript opens Statements and recording. Each entry contains a whole official statement, its speaker and function, and the agenda item when supplied by the source.
The Official transcript / From recording buttons change the wording within the same statement and preserve the reading position. Official wording is shown first. The recording version preserves the original transcription, including passages that could not be matched to an official statement. A source link opens the published statement when available.
The play button appears only for a confirmed recording match. The header reports how many spoken statements are matched. Written submissions and records covering several interventions remain readable without a fabricated playback position. Official wording can differ from what was spoken and does not have word-by-word playback highlighting.
Search statements, speakers or agenda searches both text versions and their source labels. Follow playback scrolls to the current statement; scrolling manually pauses it, and the button resumes it.
Historical official text can also be available before the recording has an audio analysis, including recordings from before June 2026. Such text remains readable with its published source, but has no playback position until a match is established.
Advisor can search imported plenary, committee and subcommittee stenograms by date and source. Coverage is reported separately for those collections. An import in progress, an unpublished record and unavailable audio analysis are different states; the absence of a search match does not establish that nobody discussed the subject. Closed meetings may have no published stenogram.
Timeline
The Timeline button opens a side panel with the session timeline divided into successive topics. Each point contains a timestamp, a thread title, a short summary, and keywords. It is used for quick navigation across a longer session — selecting a point jumps the video and transcript to the start of the given topic. The timeline is created together with the in-depth analysis.
Transcript versions
The recording offers these text views:
- Raw, or Transcript when an official transcript is attached — the recording transcription or the combined statement reader described above.
- Polished — text cleaned up and organized as part of the recording analysis. This version is separate from the official transcript. Check quotations against the published source or the recording.
The Polished version is available only after it has been generated as part of the in-depth analysis — until then (and for live broadcasts), the panel shows the Raw record.
Analysis modes
The platform offers two approaches to content processing, selected automatically based on the session state. Ongoing sessions show real-time analysis (Record Analysis), and past sessions open directly in the in-depth result (Enhanced Record) — there is no longer a manual toggle between the modes.
Record Analysis
A speed-oriented mode, available for live broadcasts (Live Session) and as an accelerated archival review.
- Transcription — text appears in the lower part of the panel as words are spoken.
- Speaker profiles — the system recognizes faces known from the stakeholder catalog. Unrecognized speakers receive temporary identifiers (e.g., Speaker 3).
If analysis is not active, the Start Record Analysis button is available.
Enhanced Record
An in-depth mode delivering the highest-fidelity transcription, topic segmentation, accompanying analysis, and a structured timeline. This is the mode that powers the Advisor summary card, the Polished version of the transcript, and the Timeline described above. Work in this mode takes longer and is available exclusively for completed recordings. The process is initiated with the Start Enhanced Record button, and progress is reported in stages along with a completion percentage.
Recommended workflow
- Check ongoing broadcasts in the Ongoing view and upcoming ones in Scheduled.
- Launch Live Session for sessions in progress to gain immediate insight into the statements.
- Initiate Enhanced Record for key proceedings after their completion to obtain reference material.
- Use the transcript-to-video jump function to precisely locate specific statements.
Empty view and error states
- "Playback unavailable" — error establishing the video stream. Refreshing the page is recommended.
- "Scheduled — analysis will be available..." — an attempt to open a session before its start.
- "Analysis failed" — server error.
