AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION · Workflow idea

Make recordings searchable while respecting the people whose voices are included.

For an audio file submitted by an authorized owner, prepare a transcript for an approved application or review task. Confirm that every recorded speaker has been informed where required, use a protected transfer and destination, avoid retaining audio or transcripts longer than necessary, and have a person correct names, numbers, quotations, and sensitive passages before the text is relied on or shared.

Keep in mind

Transcription can mishear names, numbers, accents, or overlapping speech, and a recording may contain confidential or personal information. Confirm recording permissions, minimize storage, protect access, flag uncertain passages, and require human review before using the transcript as a record or quotation.
