📊 How We Measure Accuracy
🧪 Our Testing Method
We test AI tools using standardized meetings across different scenarios:
- • Scenario A: Ideal conditions (clear audio, native speakers)
- • Scenario B: Real-world conditions (some noise, accents)
- • Scenario C: Challenging conditions (poor audio, jargon)
- • Metrics: Word accuracy, concept capture, action items
- • Validation: Human reviewers score each summary
- • Updates: Regular retesting as AI models improve
⚠️ Important Notes
- • Accuracy varies significantly based on your specific use case
- • These ratings represent average performance across multiple tests
- • Always test tools with your own meetings before committing
- • AI models are constantly improving - accuracy trends upward over time
