Editors need reliable retrieval, review, and handoff more than another opaque generation tool.
Open the original: Check that the result opens the correct file at the correct time. Verify speech against audio rather than trusting transcription alone.
Record misses as well as hits: Keep a small list of false matches and missed known shots. Use it when comparing settings or software versions.
