Even top transcription services like Otter.ai and Microsoft Teams can produce imperfect results - missing words, confusing speakers, or mangling technical terms. When preparing for my upcoming “Lusher Advisory: AR Intelligence” research note on how a boutique analyst firm is leveraging AI for research and unique client deliverables, I needed pristine transcripts of my two briefings with the founder.
My solution? I fed both AI-generated transcripts to Claude (Anthropic's AI assistant) and asked it to create a consolidated, cleaned-up version. The result was remarkable - Claude seamlessly merged the best parts of each transcript, fixed speaker attributions, and maintained consistent, proper formatting throughout for each 55-minute conversation. I did this for both briefings. In addition, I quickly scanned each transcript for accuracy and found zero errors to correct.
This process easily saved me three hours of manual work that would have been required to clean up the transcripts.
The best part? Claude even caught when the founder and I took a break mid-briefing during the second briefing 😄 (Because even analysts need coffee!)
Now that I have pristine transcripts, I'm diving into the article. Which boutique analyst firm is leading the AI adoption curve? You’ll just have to wait until the end of the week to find out!
For AR pros conducting briefings: Consider using multiple transcription services and an AI assistant for cleanup. The combination gives you higher accuracy than any single service, saving precious time you'd spend fixing transcripts manually.

I've found one that I really like: Fathom.video. Keeps things nice and tidy and is very accurate.
