I find the ML transcription services, given 2 people speaking English with high quality sound and without heavy accents/a lot of jargon, to be adequate for having a skimmable record--such as for extracting quotations. But if I'm publishing a transcript I get a human transcription. Cleaning up the ML stuff takes way too much time and I wouldn't publish a transcript without cleaning it up.

I was in fact looking at some transcriptions of my recent meetings, and found one that captures how even small mistakes can make for completely not-understandable transcripts, unless they are manually cleaned up.

Manual transcription:

> So no: long story short, Slum is basically the way we can have an individual [, uhhh,] instance that carries all the licenses.

(Slum is a project name in this case)

Computer transcription (MS Teams):

> So no.

> A long story shorts. Love is basically the way we can have an individual.

> OHS instance that carries all the license.
