A press conference is a formal communication exercise where every word carries weight. Capturing official statements, answers to follow-up questions and usable quotes precisely is essential - and genuinely difficult with handwritten notes at fast-moving events where spokespeople speak quickly.
Capturing exact quotes
With Listen, the press conference is recorded in full. Speaker diarisation distinguishes the spokesperson, individual journalists and secondary contributors. The AI summary extracts the main announcements and the most significant quotes. For the one-to-one interviews that often follow, see our article on journalistic interviews.
Quote verification before publication
The transcript enables journalists to verify the precision of every quote before it goes to print or broadcast. Misquotation - particularly of public figures or in legally sensitive contexts - carries serious editorial, reputational and sometimes legal consequences. A verbatim transcript removes that risk entirely.
