VAPI AI doesn't collect email id or names properly
# support
k
I have a use case where AI has to collect the email id & name from the user. When the user spells s t e p h a n i e, AI takes it as s t e b h a n i e. If the pronounciation very slightly diffent it takes the wrong spelling. Email id collection is sensitive. The same goes for name as well. How to fix this? I think this cannot be fixed with prompt as it is done by the transcriber

Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share: \- The call ID \- When exactly this happened (the timestamp) \- What response you expected to get \- What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!

019a24bf-062e-7ee5-b7d8-060ec32c00d3 - Please check this call id. There are multiple mistakes in the transcript. When the user says Vice President it takes it as voice present. Exact timing is 1:48:59 PM(+00:43.52). When User says his name as Ajith it takes it as Agent.
