Noise and connection quality
Traffic, machinery, wind, speakerphone echo, or a poor telephone connection can obscure speech.
AI voicemail accuracy guide
AI voicemail transcripts are useful previews, not perfect records
A transcript can make voicemail faster to scan, but automated speech recognition can mishear names, numbers, specialist terms, or speech recorded in difficult conditions. Keep the original audio available whenever exact wording matters.

What can affect a transcript
The transcription system can only work with the audio captured during the call.
Names, numbers, and specialist terms
Proper nouns, addresses, reference numbers, and unfamiliar vocabulary are easier to misinterpret than ordinary sentences.
Speaking style and overlapping voices
Fast speech, long pauses, quiet callers, strong accents, or two people speaking together can reduce clarity.
How to use transcripts responsibly
Treat the text as a quick view of the likely purpose of the call, not a certified record.
Triage before replaying
Use readable text to distinguish a new enquiry from a routine callback request.
Verify action-driving details
Replay the audio before relying on an address, amount, date, name, order number, or exact wording.
Prompt for focused context
A short greeting can ask callers to speak clearly and include the specific information your callback workflow needs.
What happens when Recorder cannot produce usable text
Recording and transcription are separate steps, so a transcription problem does not discard stored audio.
Silence can produce no email
A completed transcript with no text has nothing to include in a voicemail email, even when a recording exists.
Processing is retried
Recorder retries a failed transcription job up to three attempts.
Final failure leaves the recording
If all attempts fail, the original recording remains playable but no transcript text or transcript email is produced.
