Correct Transcript:

Good morning, everyone. Today, I'm excited to share our journey towards the digitisation of our library's historical documents. This initiative is not only about preserving our past but also making it accessible to everyone in the digital age. First, each document is carefully scanned, ensuring that every detail is captured. Then, the texts are transcribed manually to maintain accuracy. Interestingly, we also use optical character recognition (OCR) software, which aids in converting these scans into editable texts. This process has allowed us to create a digital archive that is not only searchable but also interactive, making history come alive for researchers and the general public alike.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "thrilled", the speaker says "excited"

Explanation: The speaker says "I'm excited to share", not "thrilled". Both words start with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "consuming", the speaker says "preserving"

Explanation: Listen for "preserving our past". The printed and spoken words begin with different letters, so trust your ears, not the page.

Printed "contents", the speaker says "texts"

Explanation: You will hear "the texts are transcribed", not "contents". The printed and spoken words begin with different letters, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "formats", the speaker says "texts"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "into editable texts". The first letters differ, so listen to the whole word before you click.

Printed "specific", the speaker says "general"

Explanation: Listen again to "the general public alike". They end differently, so the ending will help you pick the right word.

"digitisation" matches the audio

Explanation: "journey towards the digitisation of" looks formal and may catch your eye. The speaker actually says this phrase exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"optical" matches the audio

Explanation: "use optical character recognition" has a technical pair next to it and may seem odd. It is spoken exactly as shown, so do not click it.
