The Justice Transcribe tool, which summarises probation meetings, has processed more than 1.6 million meetings, up from 150,000 in February, according to the four published statements. An internal department estimates an illustrative saving of 266,667 hours, based on an assumption of ten minutes per meeting. No public document gives a transcription error rate, despite a 50% reduction in administrative time cited by ministers before Parliament without a documented method. In France, the Ministry of Justice rolled out "Mon Assistant Justice" in May 2026, without publishing a comparable usage volume. Summary based on the full text of the article.
