Is My AI Call Transcript What Was Actually Said?

A stored transcript is a reconstruction assembled by your pipeline, not a recording of the call, and eleven documented mechanisms make the two differ, ten of them with no recognition error involved at all. Every one was re-read at source on 20 September 2026. Run the Read Back Test below over your last 20 calls.
