How to verify an AI summary with citations
In Reline, every point in an AI summary is linked to the exact transcript moment that supports it. Click any point to jump to that line in the transcript, then click the line itself to seek the audio to that second and hear what was actually said. That round-trip lets you confirm a claim instead of taking the summary's word for it.
Open the note's AI summary
Open the recorded note you want to check and find its AI summary at the top of the note. The summary is generated from the transcript, so it needs a finished transcription to exist. If you ran a custom Lens (one of the 16 built-in templates or one you saved), its output is cited the same way.
Find the citation on a summary point
Each summary point carries a citation that ties it to a specific moment in the transcript. Hover over or read a point you want to verify, especially numbers, decisions, owners, and dates, since those are the claims worth confirming. The citation is what turns a generic summary into something you can audit.
Click the point to jump to the transcript
Click the cited summary point to jump straight to the transcript line it came from. The transcript scrolls to that exact moment so you can read the surrounding sentences for context, not just the one clipped phrase. If a point spans several lines, read a few lines before and after to make sure the summary didn't compress two separate statements into one.
Click the transcript line to hear the source
Click any transcript line to seek the in-app playback to that second of audio and hear the source for yourself. This is the final check: text can be transcribed slightly off, but the audio is the ground truth. Listen to confirm the speaker actually said what the summary claims, and that the tone or qualifier wasn't lost.
Correct or push back when the audio disagrees
If the audio doesn't match the summary point, you've caught it at the source rather than after acting on it. Edit the transcript line or the summary text directly in the note so the record reflects what was actually said. Re-check the next cited point the same way until you trust the whole summary.
Frequently asked questions
- What does it mean that every summary point is cited?
- Reline links each point in the AI summary back to the exact transcript moment that supports it. You click a point to jump to that line, then click the line to play the audio from that second, so any claim can be traced to its source rather than taken on trust.
- Why is a cited summary better than an un-cited one?
- An un-cited summary gives you a conclusion with no way to check it, so you either trust it blindly or re-listen to the whole recording. Citations let you verify only the points that matter in seconds by jumping to the transcript and playing the source audio, which catches misattributions, dropped qualifiers, and transcription slips before you act on them.
- Can I verify summaries in other languages?
- Yes. Transcription supports 60+ languages, and the citation link and click-to-seek playback work the same regardless of the spoken language. Note that transcription and the AI summary run in the cloud, not on-device.
