EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep authorized audio or video, timed subtitle text, and possible speaker labels accurate, proportionate, and accountable to a person.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a subtitle draft that an editor can check against the original recording. Only process media you are authorized to use, and obtain any required speaker consent. Transcription can mishear names, quotations, timing, or speakers; protect private recordings, verify every important line in context, respect copyright and accessibility requirements, and require an editor to approve the final subtitle file before release. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
