Your biggest risk here probably isn’t just background noise—it’s losing crucial nuances that ensure an airtight verbatim transcript. In settings like prison depositions, plexiglass can introduce subtle reverberations and muffled speech that common filters might erase along with essential detail. The challenge is preserving every inflection while isolating the voice from ambient sounds. I approach this by combining spectral editing with targeted noise reduction, calibrated for legal audio standards, ensuring clarity without distortion. The final deliverable will be lossless and fully compatible with your WAV workflow. If you want to discuss how to safeguard transcript accuracy before editing starts, I’m here to talk.
