- Use the same recording for every tool, with the spoken language set correctly. Include a few names, numbers and technical terms.
- Compare the text with the audio. Record corrections, missed words and speaker changes separately from the quality of a generated summary.
- Open a document or subtitle export in the application where it will be used. Check formatting, timestamps and what remains available after the trial.
