VOICE NOTE DOCUMENTATION · Workflow idea

Keep spoken updates searchable without losing what was actually said.

For an authorized voice note, prepare a transcript and a short summary in separate documents associated with the original recording. Preserve the source name and relevant date, mark uncertainty, and let the speaker or intended document owner verify the transcript and approve its storage location and readers before it is shared.

Keep in mind

Transcripts may mishear names, dates, or instructions, and a summary can change the speaker’s meaning.
