Script vs recording

Compare a voice take with the script it was read from, line by line, and see which changed or added lines clash with canon.

Where Open a recording in the Library → Script vs recording (or Compare with a script)

Script vs recording for a town crier take: the script on the left, what was said on the right, with changed and not said lines and one line that contradicts canon.

What you see

  1. ScriptThe script this take was read from. Pick it from the list; No script unlinks it.
  2. SummaryCounts of lines As written, changed, added and not said, how many lines contradict canon, and how many conflict within this take. Only differences hides the lines said as written.
  3. LinesEach row shows the script line with its line number and speaker on the left, and what was said, with a play button, on the right. Words cut from the script are struck through; new words are marked. Dialogue is read from “NAME: line” lines (any case when the name is a wiki name or alias) and from screenplay cues: a character name on its own line, with (V.O.) or (CONT’D) if any, above the speech. Scene headings, action and (beat) lines are not counted as spoken.
  4. FlagsUnder a changed or added line, each fact it states: Contradicts canon (with the canon fact) or Conflicts with another line in this take (with the other line and its time), or a note that no canon conflict was found.

Add a recording

  1. In the Library or on Home, upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WebM or FLAC, up to 30 minutes).
  2. Wait while it is transcribed; the transcript becomes a read-only document with timed passages.
  3. The AI proposes candidate facts from the transcript, as for any document.

Compare a take with its script

  1. Open the recording and press Compare with a script.
  2. Under Script, pick the scene or dialogue the take was read from.
  3. Read the rows marked Changed, Added and Not said.
  4. Press a play button to hear the line; a changed word may just be misheard.

Deal with a flagged line

  1. Read the flag: which rule it hit, how hard, and what it clashes with.
  2. Follow the link to the canon fact or the other line.
  3. Press Review this candidate to accept, edit or reject the fact in Review.

Good to know

  • Scripts are matched word by word. Lines written as NAME: line give each script line its speaker.
  • The transcript is the source. Quotes are checked against it, not the audio, and it is never edited; transcribing again adds a new version.
  • Only the deterministic conflict rules run on changed and added lines. No hit isn’t proof a line fits.
  • Nothing here is stored or decided: the facts stay pending candidates until someone decides them in Review.
