recorded statement
Captured spoken words
A recorded statement is testimony captured on audio or video, typically given to insurance companies, attorneys, or law enforcement.
The recording creates a permanent record that can be used as evidence or to check for inconsistencies: The adjuster asked for a recorded statement about the accident.
Legal advisors often caution against giving recorded statements without counsel present, since the words become fixed and can be used against the speaker later.
