IF the dialog is badly recorded or unintelligible speech, how would a transcription process get it correct?

Because it can use the full set of information of the audio - people with hearing difficulties cannot. Also interesting, people with perfectly functional hearing, but whom have "software" bugs (i.e. I find it extremely hard to process voices with significant background nose) can also benefit :)
I have that issue as well - I can hear faint noises OK but if there's background noise I can't understand what people say. But I'm pretty sure there's a physical issue at the root of it in my case. The problem showed up after several practice sessions with a band whose guitarist insisted on always playing at full volume.
I'd love your thoughts on why it might be hardware. I reason that my hearing is generally fine - there's no issue picking apart loud complex music (I love breakcore!).
But play two songs at the same time, or try talking to me with significant background noise, and I seem to be distinctly impaired vs. most others.
If I concentrate, I can sometimes work through it.
My uninformed model is a pipeline of sorts, and some sort of pre-processing isn't turned on. So the stuff after it has a much harder job.

You say issue, I say feature. It's a great way to just ignore boring babbling at parties or other social engagements where you're just not that engaged. Sort of like selective hearing in relationships, but used on a wider audience

The definition of "unintelligible" varies by person, especially by accent. Like, I got no problem with understanding the average person from Germany... but someone from the deep backwaters of Saxony, forget about that.
