How to Improve Transcription Accuracy
Accuracy improves most when teams fix input quality and review process design.
Start with clean audio, reduce speaker overlap, and enforce a lightweight review checklist for names, terms, and decisions. These steps usually deliver the biggest accuracy gains.
Audio quality controls
Most errors are caused by noisy or overlapping audio.
- - Use close microphones where possible
- - Reduce background noise and side conversations
- - Avoid recording from laptop speakers in large rooms
Review strategy
Targeted review is more efficient than line-by-line rewriting.
- - Prioritize names, numbers, currencies, and dates
- - Validate domain-specific terminology
- - Approve summary conclusions against original transcript segments
