# Reviewing Transcript Utterances

Though uncommon, MeetBit Transcriptions may include mistakes and **we recommend that you manually review transcripts before completing them**. Reviewing allows you to fix any mistakes made by MeetBit which may include:

* Mistranscribed words / phrases
* Inaccurate Utterance timestamps
* Missing Utterances
* Incorrectly matched Utterances and speakers
* Wrong speaker names

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must have the permission to update Transcripts and the Transcript must have a status of "Created" or "For Review"  to perform the actions below.
{% endhint %}

## Correcting Speaker Details

If speaker details were incorrectly extrapolated from the conversation, you may update them by following the instructions in [#specifying-transcript-participants](https://meetbit.gitbook.io/docs/managing-transcripts#specifying-transcript-participants "mention").

## Marking a Transcript as Completed

After reviewing a Transcript's Utterances and you have ensured its accuracy, marking the Transcript as completed ensures that you or other users do not mistakenly update it in the future.
