- What it is
- A transcription company's description of how it checks human-reviewed transcripts: a production pass, a verification pass against the audio and the style specification, and a final validation gate.
- How much weight it carries
- A vendor's description of its own process, so it shows what a professional QA workflow looks like, not how often errors occur. It gives no error rates, and the article has no visible date.
