Does the transcript endure?

Absolutely—though whether it should endure depends on the setting and the needs of the client.

A TypeWell transcript can be saved on a computer, emailed, or printed for later review. This makes it a valuable study tool for students after class, and useful documentation for meetings or discussions.

At the same time, some schools or workplaces require that transcripts be deleted after the session to protect confidentiality. In those cases, the transcript is used only in real time and not retained afterward.

Every TypeWell transcriber is trained to capture the essential content of what is said. To provide equal access in educational settings, the full communication is transcribed in real time. When the transcript is saved, however, the transcriber may then edit it to redact sensitive details or names, or to remove off-topic or extraneous content before sharing. This ensures the saved version balances both accuracy and privacy, while still preserving the record of the discussion.
