Spoken article quality assessment

Version reviewed: As at 25 July 2008

---

Technical quality: High/Medium

• Standard introduction and licence details are present and correct.
• Voice is clear and does not suffer from any editing artifacts (such as excessive noise reduction).
• There is background noise, but it is at a constant low level and does not affect the clarity of the voice. Two seconds of slightly louder buzzing at approximately 04:59 (at the line "With U.S. Rep. Barney Frank...").
• Occasional mouse button clicks.

---

Clarity: High/Medium

• Fairly clear enunciation.
• Pacing is generally good, although longer sentences often have relatively large silent gaps between clauses—especially after commas in the text. A good example is the sentence starting "He was Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security..." (03:27), which has a stop-start flow. This does not affect the listener's understanding of the article, though.
• Good use of intonation and emphasis to convey the sense of the text.

---

Accuracy: High/Medium

• Link to the historical version correctly provided on the upload page.
• All section headings and subheadings are provided correctly.
• Very little hesitation and no mid-narration corrections.
• Some minor variations from the text, none of which compromise the meaning:

• "...leading state-controlled newspaper" read as "...leading state-controlled newspapers".
• "...recommending wholesale modernization" read as "...recommended wholesale modernization".
• "...the only law that was enacted" read as "...the only law that was ever enacted".
• "...fraudulent and extortionate lawsuits" has a choppy edit and is read as "extraordinate lawsuits".

A good-quality narration which supplements the article well. Many thanks!
