Question and answer
- Question
- What exactly is said starting about 4 seconds into this clip?
- Answer
- The transcript has the speaker saying "What you see here are the previous version and the new modified version side by side." from 3.8 seconds.
How it was checked
- Truth from
- captions
- Fixed at
Taken from the human captions published with the source: the caption line at 86.77 to 91.85 s in the source, which is 4.00 to 9.08 s in the clip. The clip is the source from 82.77 to 112.77 s, cut with no edit. The line was picked by a seeded rule (seed from the card id) from 21 eligible caption lines of 8 to 25 words, 2 to 10 s long, starting at least 4 s in, ending 0.5 s before the window does, with at least two words of 5 or more letters, and with no sound tag, music mark, dialogue dash or speaker label; the required phrases are the first 3 of those words in the line. No picture or sound was changed, and no tool was asked for the answer.
The check is the published caption file, and the 30-second clip was cut from the source with no edit, so a word that transcribe hears differently counts as a miss.
