Questions

Do I need consent to record an interview?

Usually, yes. Many places require everyone in a conversation to agree before it's recorded, and your company may have its own policy. HearingScribe reminds you each time you start recording; following the rules is up to you. This isn't legal advice.

Can a team use it?

Pro is for one person on up to 3 of their Macs. Each person on the team needs their own license.

Is the transcript accurate enough to rely on?

It's a strong first draft. Check anything important against the recording, which is one click away from each line.
