Philadelphia's AI-Powered Scanner Intelligence
ScannerWire monitors PPD, PFD, and EMS radio 24/7. AI delivers clear headlines, geocoded locations, and severity scores to your newsroom — in under 60 seconds.
From scanner audio to publishable lead in one screen.
Feed, map, transcripts, Ask the Wire, and mobile alerts stay aligned across the newsroom and the phone app.
How it works
Three steps from scanner audio to actionable intelligence.
Scanner audio captured
We monitor PPD, PFD, and EMS radio channels around the clock. Every transmission is recorded and transcribed automatically.
AI processes the transcript
Our AI reads each transcript, extracts the incident type, location, and severity, then writes a clear headline and summary.
You get the alert
Incidents appear in your feed within seconds — categorized, scored, and mapped. Filter by severity to focus on breaking news.
Built for newsroom workflows
Every feature exists to help you cover stories faster and more accurately.
AI-written headlines
Every incident gets a clear, publication-ready headline and 2-3 sentence summary. No more deciphering scanner jargon.
Precise locations
Street addresses and cross-streets extracted from audio and geocoded onto a map. Know exactly where to send a crew.
Severity scoring
Each event is rated 1-5 so you can triage your feed. Filter to severity 3+ and only see shootings, fires, and major incidents.
Category filters
Toggle between Police, Fire, and EMS to focus on your beat. Categories are determined by talkgroup, not guesswork.
30-second auto-refresh
The feed updates automatically every 30 seconds. No need to refresh the page — new incidents appear as they happen.
Push notifications
Get alerted on your phone for high-severity events. Never miss a breaking story, even when you're away from your desk.
