homeport transcribers take great care to provide an accurate transcription and proofreading to ensure clarity. However, accuracy does depend on the audio and speaking quality, strong dialects, and the number of people speaking at any one time. As well as the number of microphones used and where they are positioned in relation to the speakers. If your company use industry specific technical or esoteric words, then providing a list would be useful.
