How does ai-coustics help over-transcription?
At ai-coustics, our Quail family reduces over-transcription by enhancing audio before it reaches the ASR. Quail Voice Focus specifically isolates the main speaker, removing competing voices that could otherwise be over-transcribed and mislead the voice agent.
