Why Use Human Transcriptionists?
Many companies and individuals are turning to artificial intelligence to create their transcripts. The technology has come a long way and is getting quite good at creating a useable transcript in most instances. This is all fine and good for things like podcasts and general transcription, what about legal and investigation transcription?
According to the American Bar Association, using AI for confidential transcripts is risky because cloud-based AI systems process and store your audio and text EXTERNALLY. This exposes sensitive data to third-party services, model training and privacy violations. Consumer-grade tools and lack of secure vendor policies create significant issues for privacy, legal compliance, and evidently reliability. Sharing privileged information—such as attorney-client conversations and interviews with a third-party platform acts as a disclosure to an outside party. This can irretrievably destroy legal privilege, making the conversations subject to legal discovery.
Another big concern is that many commercia AI providers use uploaded text or audio transcripts to train their foundational models in perpetuity. Your interviews and client discussions could inadvertently become part of a public AI’s future knowledge base. Once an AI platform generates and stores a transcript, it becomes a permanent digital record.
When you use a transcription service, on the other hand, they typically have non-disclosure agreements in place and many, including Pioneer Transcription Services, are happy to sign specific agreements to each client and even each case. We also use an encrypted and secure file transfer service.
Investigative interviews rely heavily on assessing tone, emotion, pauses and the cadence of a speaker’s voice. AI struggles with human nuance and cannot accurately weigh witness credibility, which is the cornerstone of a defensible investigation.
AI tools also frequently misinterpret technical jargon, complex workplace vernacular or muffled speech.
