This article describes the Voice Quality Check data management policy.

The Voice Quality Check storage policy is implemented to check the quality of the voice recordings and detect noise, garbled voice, and other problems. 

It is available as part of the upload policy (similar to the encryption/signing) and as a stand-alone policy.

It is recommended to configure quality checks with the upload policy. Otherwise, during the process, the system will download the media file to the Verba server running the process and check the quality of the recording.

Running the quality check puts an extra ~15% load on the recording servers.

For more information refer to the Voice Quality Check article.
