Meaning
Automatic speech recognition estimates written words from recorded speech; its output is a hypothesis rather than a verified transcript.
A practical example
A recognizable place name may still be transcribed as a more common phrase, particularly under noise or an unfamiliar accent.
What to check
High confidence is not a fact check. Listen to names and numbers and keep a record of corrections before publishing captions or quotations.
