The meeting is over, but your AI minutes contain an unfamiliar project name. The prose is smooth, making even the wrong name look plausible. Before sending the minutes, check transcription and summarization separately. Correct spelling alone does not settle errors in ownership or deadlines.
On September 29, Naver's technology news displayed a report on research into correcting technical terms. It prompted this guide to currently documented CLOVA Note features and our suggested editing sequence. This article makes no claim about research performance figures or completed product deployment.

Key points
- Before recording, prepare the main conversation language and recurring terms, then briefly test the microphone input.
- After recording, compare audio, transcript and summary for names, numbers, owners and deadlines.
- Leave uncertain speech marked for confirmation instead of filling gaps by inference, and ask participants to clarify.

Vocabulary settings and summary instructions act at different stages
A transcript turns speech into text; a summary selects important information from that text. Separating the stages helps locate an error. Check whether the project name is already wrong in the transcript. If the transcript is correct but the summary changes the name, edit the summary.
CLOVA Note lets users register terms under Settings → Frequently used words. Enter terms in the recognition language. This can help recognition, but does not guarantee accurate sentences. Official vocabulary guidance
Giving a glossary to a separate summarization tool is an editing suggestion. For example: “Use these spellings for Project Aurora and part Q7, but add nothing absent from the source.” The names are fictional; this does not describe a specific service button or automatic integration. Forcing a glossary term onto every similar sound can introduce another error.

Set language, vocabulary and input before recording
Prepare a short list of product names, project names, abbreviations and their exact spellings. We recommend selecting names relevant to this meeting instead of adding unrelated vocabulary. Note the preferred spelling when participants use different shortened forms.
In CLOVA Note, Service settings → Recognition language sets the account default; a selection during recording or before upload applies to that note. The language cannot be changed once upload is complete. Official language guidance
The official PC guidance says recording captures microphone input rather than directly recognizing browser playback. Do not assume all video-call sound will be captured: make a short recording and listen. Explain the purpose and seek participants' consent; check company rules before uploading work material externally. Official recording guidance
Replay the sentence when you find an error
CLOVA Note supports playback from a selected transcript word and search to locate a passage. Official navigation guidance Listen to the surrounding sentence as well as the name. If “not” disappears from “we will not do this this week,” correcting one noun still leaves the decision reversed.
On PC, the Edit button above the transcript enables corrections and segment playback. Speaker changes have a selectable scope, so check the range if only one utterance is wrong. Official editing guidance
This is our editorial review checklist. It prioritizes details that can affect work, rather than guaranteeing every meeting record.
| Review item | Compare against | If unclear |
|---|---|---|
| Product or project name | Audio and exact spelling in meeting material | Do not guess a similar name |
| Amount, quantity or unit | Surrounding speech and relevant document | Ask about number and unit together |
| Task owner | Actual speaker and assignment statement | Distinguish speaker from assignee |
| Deadline | Date statement and meeting date | Confirm a calendar date for “next Friday” |
| Decision or proposal | Approval, deferral or review wording | Keep unresolved matters unresolved |
A fictional meeting where “3” becomes “30”
Suppose someone says, “Let's consider sending three Q7 samples by next Friday,” but the summary reads, “Confirmed: ship 30 Q7 units Friday.” Even with the right product name, quantity, date and decision status need separate checks.
Replay the quantity, compare the meeting material and preserve “consider.” Confirm the actual Friday date and shipping owner with participants. Mark inaudible details with a location, such as “quantity needs confirmation, around 12:40.” That timestamp is a fictional recording position, not an error statistic.
If you regenerate the summary, read it to see whether the corrected transcript is reflected. Do not assume an existing summary becomes accurate automatically after a transcript edit. Before replacing every occurrence of a word, check that each search result has the same meaning.
Share decisions, owners and deadlines
Finally, check what was agreed, who owns it and when it is due. Leave unresolved matters for confirmation. A brief reviewer name and verification time make later corrections easier to explain. Check recipients and access to recording links too.
A small habit for today: prepare one glossary and replay one important decision sentence. Use AI minutes to accelerate the draft, then finish the work record with verified content. The fictional example and checklist are editorial suggestions; no news photos or invented accuracy figures are used.
