Workflow

  1. Normalize audio (format, loudness).
  2. Transcribe with speaker labels if available.
  3. Spot-check proper nouns and numbers — typical failure points.
  4. Cross-link transcript segments to source file and timestamp.

Provenance

Transcripts are AI-generated or machine-generated text for factual claims — disclose limitations when summarizing testimony or leaked recordings.
