the reasoning
Transcription is close to fully solved by AI now for clear-audio, single-speaker content — fast, cheap, and accurate.
the prompt to rununverified draft
Upload your audio to Otter.ai. Once transcribed, do a quick read-through against the audio for anything technical, a proper noun, or a name — those are where auto-transcription most often gets it wrong.
what you give up
- Accuracy on heavy accents, technical jargon, or multiple overlapping speakers
