Embodiments for delay-induced miscommunication reduction are provided. The embodiment may include capturing data streams transmitted between participants in an A/V exchange; translating, on a sender device prior to transmission to a recipient device, an audio stream within the data streams to text; timestamping, on a sender device prior to transmission to the recipient device, each word in the translated audio stream; transmitting the audio stream and the sender-side translated and timestamped audio stream to the recipient device; translating, on the recipient device, the transmitted audio stream to text; timestamping, on the recipient device, each word in the translated audio stream; determining a lag exists in the A/V exchange based on a comparison of each timestamp for corresponding words on the sender-side translated and timestamped audio stream and the recipient-side translated and timestamped audio stream; and generating a true transcript of an intended exchange between the participants based on the comparison.
