How to use a Righthand with Deepgram

Use Righthand to turn a Deepgram transcript into a source-linked interview research packet.

Quick answer

Use Righthand to turn a Deepgram transcript into a source-linked interview research packet. Preserve timestamps and uncertain speech instead of promoting transcript guesses into facts.

Start with a reviewable deliverable, keeping Deepgram 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

Deepgram documents transcription of prerecorded audio. See the official Deepgram reference. Provider capabilities and Righthand's available tools are separate checks.

Use the authorized transcription output, source-audio reference, language, timestamps, and owner-supplied terminology. Keep new transcription calls outside the first review. 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 ID, time offsets, words or segments, speaker labels, uncertainty markers. These are the requested review columns, not a promise that every provider endpoint returns them under those exact names.

Permission to process audio comes from your approved collection practices. A speaker label does not independently verify a person's identity.

Illustrative first-run brief

Use the owner-provided Deepgram snapshot or approved read-only view. Review the owner-provided transcript for one approved interview. Extract stated needs and open questions with timestamps. Flag uncertain names and numbers without contacting participants. 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 research lead 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

An unclear budget number stays uncertain with a playback reference. It does not become an accepted buying commitment.

Play the flagged segment from the authorized source and compare speaker attribution and wording. 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.

Common failure and recovery

Cross-talk or noise can distort text. Recover by marking the segment for human listening rather than silently correcting it from context.

When a term is uncertain, flag its timestamp and request an authorized audio check instead of silently replacing it with a plausible word.

FAQ

What should the reviewer verify first?

Verify source and transcript identity, language, time alignment, speaker labels, and uncertain terms. Speaker labels are not verified personal identities without supporting context.

How should a repeat run be scoped?

Retain transcript and audio versions, language, and timestamp basis. Recheck only changed segments after corrections and preserve an uncertainty log for the reviewer.
