Background Noise

Background noise: Many recordings have background noise like conversations to distract the listener, and overshadowing the dictation.

Poor Audio Quality

In some cases, the audio quality is poor, with muffled sound or unclear dictations that can complicate transcription.

Fast-Paced Speech

Doctors also tend to talk quickly, so keeping up with their dictation can be challenging, especially when various details require transcription.
