Automated vs Manual Censoring


The best workflows use both automation and human judgment.

The Comparison

  • Manual: 60-90 min per hour of audio, 90-95% accuracy
  • Automated: 5 min, 80-85% accuracy
  • Hybrid: 20 min, 98%+ accuracy

Hybrid Wins

  1. Automation transcribes and flags candidates
  2. Humans review in context
  3. Teams export a timestamped report for edits in their own tools
