recording error

Flaw in documentation

A recording error is a mistake made when capturing or documenting information—whether in audio, video, written records, or data entry.

The term appears in accounting a recording error in the ledger, scientific research recording errors can skew results, and media production a recording error ruined the take.

Recording errors range from technical glitches to human mistakes in transcription.
