What if a speech-to-text transcript disagrees with my recording?
Replay the relevant passage before deciding that the transcript is right. Check whether it omitted, replaced, or added words, and keep the audio as the record of the attempt. If the sound itself is unclear, investigate that separately. A recognition mismatch alone cannot identify the cause or establish an official pronunciation judgment.

A transcript can help you locate wording, but listen before accepting it as an exact record. If the text contains a missing word or an unexpected phrase, replay that passage. Recognition errors can occur; a transcription mismatch alone does not establish a pronunciation problem. An accurate-looking transcript also does not capture everything about how an answer sounded.
