Can I rely on the accuracy of the transcription?
While we strive to provide accurate transcriptions, the 'Convert to Text' feature may not always be perfect. Factors such as poor audio quality, background noise, or unclear speech can affect the accuracy of voice-to-text technology. If the transcription is unable to accurately convert your message, you will receive a notification indicating that the text cannot be recognized. We recommend reviewing the transcription for accuracy before relying on it as a sole source of information.
