Pitfalls to watch at work

Descript

A cloned voice can "say" things the person never said: agree voice edits with the person on the recording
A client meeting recording is uploaded to the service's cloud: for confidential negotiations use a corporate plan or local editing
Transcription in less common languages has errors, so test such recordings on five minutes first

Fyxer

Drafts sit in the mailbox and can be sent by accident: send only emails you have reread
Labels move emails out of the inbox: during the first weeks check the FYI section so you miss nothing important
The service reads all your mail: a work mailbox needs company approval
