Correct Transcript:

They did not have them at work, whether maybe they were old or ill or not appropriate temperamentally, and then they had non pet owners. And we measured their perception of their work organisation, their stress clubbed throughout the day, we assigned them pages and we paged them four times during the day, to get their stress levels and their physiological, their baseline physiological stress. And there, this is actually the CEO with his two, Dachshunds in his office. Regardless of whether they owned a pet or not, or brought the dog to work or not, the employees in this organisation scored higher on national industry norms, on job satisfaction, on communication, on pay, on promotion, on benefits, rewards, operating procedures. Some of these makes sense having dogs in the workplace.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "temperament", the speaker says "temperamentally"

Explanation: You will hear "not appropriate temperamentally". It appears on the page as "temperament", so listen to the ending.

Printed "series", the speaker says "clubbed"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "their stress clubbed throughout". The page shows "series", so the first letter will not match.

Printed "staging", the speaker says "stress"

Explanation: Listen again to "baseline physiological stress". The transcript reads "staging", so hear the final part of the word.

Printed "got", the speaker says "scored"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "employees in this organisation scored higher". The text says "got", so the first letter differs.

Printed "fines", the speaker says "rewards"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "on benefits, rewards, operating procedures". The printed word is "fines", which does not start the same.

Printed "ground", the speaker says "workplace"

Explanation: The speaker says "having dogs in the workplace", not "ground". On the page you see "ground", so listen from the first letter.

"Dachshunds" matches the audio

Explanation: "CEO with his two, Dachshunds". This looks rare and may draw your eye, but the speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.

"paged" matches the audio

Explanation: "we paged them four times". This word sits near changed words and can confuse you, yet the speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.
