In the insurance industry, a recorded statement is more than just an audio file. It is often the primary piece of evidence used to determine liability, process a claim, or defend a case in court. When a claims adjuster records an interview with a claimant or a witness, every specific detail matters.
The difference between “I did see the light turn red” and “I didn’t see the light turn red” is enormous. In a noisy recording, those two phrases can sound almost identical.
Why Human Ears Matter in Claims Processing
This is where Atomic Scribe’s human-powered transcription services become a critical asset to insurance professionals.
Recorded statements are rarely captured in a studio environment. They often happen over cell phones with poor reception, on the side of a busy highway, or when a claimant is under significant emotional distress. There might be wind noise, traffic sounds, or crying in the background.
Automated tools struggle heavily with these variables. A machine often guesses when the audio is unclear, which can lead to disastrous errors in the official record. A human transcriptionist does not guess. We listen repeatedly to difficult sections, decipher accents, and filter out background noise to capture exactly what was said. We understand that in the world of insurance, “mostly accurate” is not good enough.

The Security Risks of AI Transcription
We know that claims departments are under pressure to close files quickly, and the speed of AI transcription is tempting. If you have already used an automated tool to generate a rough draft, Atomic Scribe provides cleanup and correction services to verify the text against the audio and fix the inevitable errors.
However, we advise insurance professionals to be extremely careful with fully automated, cloud-based AI platforms.
Insurance recordings contain sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and often Protected Health Information (PHI). When you upload a claimant’s recorded statement to a public or free AI tool, you may be exposing sensitive data to a third party or training a public model with private legal details.
