Quick answer
For Collie voice transcription troubleshooting, check the audio quality, confirm the file is approved for AI processing, add church-specific keyterms when available, and review the transcript before using it in drafts.
Steps
- 1. Check the audio source: Use clear audio with minimal room noise, a single primary speaker when possible, and a file the church has approved for AI processing.
- 2. Add church vocabulary: Include names, ministries, series titles, and local terms as keyterms when the workflow supports them.
- 3. Review the transcript: Correct names, Bible references, and ministry terms before asking Collie to draft outputs from the transcript.
- 4. Keep sensitive audio out: Do not upload counseling, confessional, crisis, or abuse-related audio for AI processing.
