# Resources for the work.

Guides, practical tools, and reading for the people who produce the record.

## Start with the decision in front of you.

AI review, recording resilience, and software portability. Use the guides and tools to make a more informed next decision.

1. ### AI assists. The review stays yours.

   Keep source audio, rough drafts, and certified transcripts distinct. Decide where assistance belongs before adopting a new workflow.

   Decide what you will check yourself.

2. ### Remote work needs a recovery plan.

   Map the audio route, name the backup, and test the handoff. Choose a setup for the job and the recording method your rules permit.

   Test the backup before the proceeding.

   Check what you can take with you.
