GOOD TO KNOW
Safety and privacy
Audio can imitate identity
Review every transcript and regenerated word, obtain permission from recorded speakers and never create an AI speaker without authorisation. Avoid confidential uploads unless the workflow is approved.
Protect private material
Recordings and voices can be personal or biometric data. Obtain permission and keep sensitive audio out of unapproved services.
Keep human control
Approve every script, pronunciation, disclosure, commercial right and final audio file.
