How to use a Righthand with AssemblyAI

Quick answer

Use Righthand to prepare an AssemblyAI transcription review for approved training material. Keep source audio, transcription status, and extracted notes connected.

Start with a reviewable deliverable, keeping AssemblyAI as the accepted home for its records. This guide uses an explicitly approved snapshot or browser read; it does not assume that every provider API action is exposed by your Righthand connection.

Evidence and access

AssemblyAI documents transcription and related audio APIs. See the official AssemblyAI reference. Provider capabilities and Righthand's available tools are separate checks.

Request the authorized transcript packet with source file, timestamps, speaker labels where supplied, and the owner's intended review scope. Verify the required tools and owner-approved scope through Righthand integrations; use the supplied packet when a native read is unavailable.

Define the objects and authority

Include these fields in the working input: audio reference, transcript job ID, status, segment timestamps, text, speaker label, reviewer. These are the requested review columns, not a promise that every provider endpoint returns them under those exact names.

An accepted transcription job is not a completed transcript. Do not summarize incomplete output as the full recording.

Illustrative first-run brief

Use the owner-provided AssemblyAI snapshot or approved read-only view. Review the supplied completed transcript and approved training glossary. Flag uncertain terms and prepare a timestamped topic outline. Do not upload new recordings or publish notes. Run once for the agreed sample, using America/Los_Angeles for the review deadline and preserving source timestamps separately. Return the draft in this conversation by Friday at 3 PM Pacific for the training editor to review. Include source references and missing fields. Do not write records, spend money, change permissions, or send external messages. Stop and report an unavailable source rather than substituting another account.

Expected result and verification

A glossary term at a specific timestamp becomes a verification item; incomplete job output remains unavailable rather than summarized as complete.

Check job completion and compare selected segments against authorized playback. Record the source cutoff, applied filters, and items excluded from the sample. The reviewer should be able to follow each consequential finding back to an original object. A well-written summary is not evidence that a proposed action happened. If a later write is authorized, verify its specific result separately before changing the task's status.

Illustrative input and draft output

These synthetic entries show the requested review, not live account results or a provider field schema.

Common failure and recovery

A failed job or inaccessible audio URL can leave no usable source. Report the failure and ask for an approved complete input before retrying.

If a summary invents a decision absent from the transcript, remove the unsupported conclusion and ask the meeting owner to confirm the actual outcome.

FAQ

What should the reviewer verify first?

Verify transcript identity, time alignment, labels, and source support for every extracted action. A diarized speaker label does not establish personal identity.

How should a repeat run be scoped?

Keep transcript version and source cutoff attached to repeat reviews. Recheck revised segments and do not reuse an old action extraction after the source text changes.
