Recorded Statement Intelligence: How AI Is Revolutionizing Recorded Statements in Insurance Claims

There’s a new category emerging in the specialized world of insurance claims processing: recorded statement intelligence. 

Recorded statements are one of the most valuable yet underutilized sources of data in the claims process. They contain first hand testimony and uncover other useful information that influences litigation outcomes. But for too long, they’ve been hard to access, summarize, or put to use, until now. 

Artificial intelligence is transforming how adjusters capture, process, and leverage recorded statements. It’s creating a fundamental shift in claims handling that enhances human expertise rather than attempting to replace it. 

This blog covers what recorded statement intelligence really means, how AI is helping adjusters use these conversations more effectively, and presents the business case for its ROI.

Key Takeaways

• Recorded statement intelligence is turning underused conversations into valuable, searchable claims data.
• AI tools like Summary Assist™ and 1st Draft Transcript help adjusters document faster and with greater consistency.
• Manual processing of statements leads to lost insights, slower claims resolution, and compliance risks.
• With AI, adjusters can review summaries in minutes, search transcripts instantly, and surface trends across thousands of files.
• The “Have, See, Know/Use” model helps claims leaders measure how well they’re using recorded statement data today.
• Investing in recorded statement intelligence improves accuracy, reduces litigation costs, and supports faster, better decisions.
• n2uitive is the only solution purpose-built to manage the full recorded statement lifecycle, from secure storage to actionable insights.

What Is Recorded Statement Intelligence?

Recorded statement intelligence is a new category in AI claims management that changes recorded statements from compliance checkboxes into valuable data sources.

Instead of manually summarizing or storing statements in siloed audio files, AI-powered tools now allow adjusters to:

• Automatically generate summaries
• Search transcript content instantly
• Surface insights across thousands of files

n2uitive, the leading provider of recorded statement management software, currently has processed 25 million statements and transcripts to date. Each statement provides insights tied to liability, fraud, or negotiation outcomes. With AI, that data is finally within reach.

The Birth of Recorded Statement Intelligence 

Recorded statements have long been considered the "platinum level data" of the claims process. Unlike structured data fields in claims management systems, these conversations contain rich, nuanced information directly from claimants and witnesses. This kind of information can dramatically impact liability determinations, settlement amounts, and litigation outcomes. 

Yet for decades, that value has remained out of reach. The process of collecting, transcribing, summarizing, and accessing these crucial statements has been: 

• Time-consuming for adjusters 
• Disconnected from core workflows 
• Difficult to search and analyze 
• Prone to human error and inconsistency 
• Nearly impossible to mine for trends or patterns

The Hidden Costs of Manual Statement Processing 

When adjusters manually transcribe or summarize recorded statements, they face a significant time burden. The average recorded statement summary takes 20-30 minutes to create. This is time that could be better spent investigating claims or communicating with claimants. 

But the costs go beyond mere time. Without proper documentation of a recorded statement: 

• Critical details can be lost or misinterpreted 
• Liability calls may be inaccurate 
• Settlement negotiations lack proper foundation 
• Litigation preparation becomes more difficult 
• Patterns go unnoticed, fraud signals missed

As insurance claims expert, Bob Cretel, explains, "These 90 seconds [of focused questioning] can change liability determinations and save thousands of dollars per claim."  But without efficient ways to capture and use that data, most of it stays buried in audio files. 

This is the gap recorded statement intelligence is designed to close, with artificial intelligence supporting adjusters, not replacing them.

"We're entering an era of AI-powered insights with minimal manual effort," says industry analyst Marty Ellingsworth. That shift is transforming recorded statements from a compliance burden into a strategic asset. It’s finally putting the industry’s most valuable conversations to work.

How AI Is Reshaping Insurance Claims Workflows

AI in insurance claims is driving better outcomes in several core areas:

1. SummaryAssist™: AI-Generated Summaries in Minutes

SummaryAssist automatically produces structured statement summaries after each recording.

• Eliminates the need for manual note-taking during interviews
• Summaries follow a consistent format
• Editable fields let adjusters review and modify as needed
• Integrates seamlessly with existing claims systems

2. 1st Draft Transcript: Searchable, Usable Statement Data

Transcripts are instantly available and linked to the original audio.

• Easy search by name, keyword, or phrase
• Sync playback with transcript highlights for easy review
• Export and customize transcripts as needed

3. Better Fraud Detection and Oversight

Structured statement data allows supervisors and analysts to:

• Spot contradictions or red flags across cases
• Identify patterns linked to fraud or subrogation
• Strengthen quality control with less effort

4. Smarter Claims Decisions, Faster

Access to AI-generated summaries and transcripts helps teams:

• Make decisions with more confidence
• Strengthen negotiation positions
• Move files through faster with better documentation

The Recorded Statement Intelligence Maturity Model: Have, See, Know/Use 

To understand where your organization stands in the recorded statement intelligence journey, it's helpful to consider what n2uitive calls the "Have, See, Know/Use" maturity model: 

Have: Do You Consistently Capture Recorded Statements?

At the most basic level, companies must consistently have recorded statements. This requires robust processes to obtain statements regularly. Without this foundation, companies face a "regret function" when unprepared for litigation. 

See: Can You Easily Access and Review Them?

Beyond collection, organizations must be able to see the content of these statements through transcription and proper storage. Without this capability, valuable data remains inaccessible in "dusty files." 

Know/Use: Are You Using the Insights Within Them to Drive Claim Outcomes? 

The highest level of maturity is knowing and using statements strategically: 

• Analyzing multiple statements to identify consistencies or discrepancies 
• Making informed decisions about settlement versus litigation 
• Strengthening negotiation positions with documented evidence 
• Applying analytics to identify patterns and extract broader insights 
• Reducing expenses through faster, more informed decisions 

The Business Case for Recorded Statement Intelligence in AI Insurance Claims

The ROI of implementing AI-powered tools in recorded statements is compelling: 

• Time Savings: AI-powered summaries save adjusters 20-30 minutes per statement. 
• Improved Accuracy: Consistent documentation reduces errors and omissions that can lead to incorrect liability determinations. 
• Litigation Advantage: Well-documented statements provide stronger foundations for legal proceedings. They can potentially save $25,000+ per litigated claim. 
• Operational Efficiency: Streamlined processes reduce the overall cost of claims handling. 
• Strategic Insights: Data mining across thousands of statements reveals patterns that individual review could never uncover. 

As one VP of Claims at a Tier 1 Insurance Carrier testifies: "These tools have transformed our claims process. We handle cases faster and with greater accuracy." 

Why n2uitive Leads in Recorded Statement Intelligence (And How It Supports Better Claim Outcomes)
