British English transcription is not just an accent label: regional vocabulary, place names, weak forms, and preferred spelling all shape the finished document. Choose en-GB for UK interviews or lectures, then listen through the passages where automatic output may drift toward US spelling or flatten a local expression.
Where this workflow fits
- UK interviews and meetings

What to expect from British English audio
The en-GB tag records the expected regional variety, while the deployed route still evaluates compatibility against the reviewed English base language. The practical review targets are regional vocabulary, place names, weak forms, dates, and preferred British spelling. The en-GB hint maps to the reviewed English base capability and does not promise region-specific spelling output.
Review the details that carry meaning
Regional vocabulary, place names, and weak forms should be checked while listening to the original audio. Use word-level playback for regional vocabulary, place names, weak forms, dates, and preferred British spelling; a correction is accepted only when the surrounding clause and project convention support it.
