With a geohash someone only needs to provide 7 to 9 characters depending where they are and the accuracy needed.
Also as each additional character in the hash adds accuracy it should be easy for an operator to easily sanity check i.e caller to operator "I am hiking in the lake district...my geohash is ..." the operator only needs the first four characters to confirm if the general location is correct or not.
I guess it's still prone to spelling errors from operators inputting the data from a call.
As others say if you are installing an app to give you a location i.e. a geohash you can use an app to give a lat/lng.
