- The homepage cites a 20-bug UAT round verified overnight, with each bug paired to its own audio slice.
Field notes
The workflow combines scheduled or on-demand SIP calls with keypad actions, local recording, transcription, and assertion-level results. Earshot’s examples focus on evidence that manual UAT usually loses: a recorded delay cadence, the exact prompt heard, and an audio slice attached to a failed check. The page also says users can supply their own Claude or GPT key for scenario drafting, while recordings remain on the local machine.
