03 / Honest about limitations

What it does well.
What it doesn't.

We will not claim this is perfect. Accuracy depends on recording quality, speaker clarity, and dialect. We will always tell you where a human reviewer is still necessary.

The goal is not to replace your judgment. It is to give you a strong first draft — so you spend your time on analysis, not transcription.

What to know before you start

Clear recordings perform best. A well-recorded interview will yield significantly higher accuracy than a noisy or distant one. We recommend a clip-on mic for field sessions.

Accuracy varies by language. Some languages in our suite currently outperform others. We publish accuracy benchmarks per language so you can calibrate expectations before committing.

We show you what we're unsure about. Words the model was not confident in are highlighted directly in your transcript. You know exactly where to focus your review before quoting anything in a paper — no guessing.
