The outcome
Produce an auditable transcript whose source, model settings, confidence limits, and edits remain traceable.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Confirm recording consent and retention rules, then define language, expected speakers, timestamps, formatting, accuracy target, and review owner.
- 02
Create a development project and API key, keep the key server-side, and submit an accessible audio file with explicit speech model and feature settings.
- 03
Poll the job with bounded backoff, handle terminal errors without duplicate submissions, and store the transcript ID with the source recording ID.
- 04
Review low-confidence names, numbers, jargon, speaker labels, timing, and sensitive passages against the audio using a representative benchmark.
- 05
Save the raw result and a separately versioned corrected transcript, restrict access, record cost and duration, and delete data on schedule.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Verify consent before upload.
- Version human corrections separately.
- Keep source-to-transcript lineage.
