Keep the recording beside the transcript

For an original newsroom workflow, keep the source recording beside the transcript. Review names, numbers, technical terms, and quotations against the audio before publication. A readable sentence is not evidence that the speaker said it.

Speech recognition does not identify every speaker

Transcription and speaker identification are different tasks. Do not assume a speech recognizer can reliably assign every sentence to a person without an additional method and review.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Review silence and background noise.
