Is it accurate?
HearingScribe uses a leading open speech model running on your Mac. Accuracy depends on the recording, so always check quotes against the audio, which is one click away.
Do I need consent to record?
Often, yes. Laws differ by place and many require every participant to agree. HearingScribe reminds you each time you start recording.
