Correct Transcript:

Earlier this week, researchers at a Scottish university announced the development of a new robot which combines artificial intelligence with robotics and automation. The robot will be used to conduct research in the field of biology. The inventors said that they feel extremely excited about the robot's ability to devise new lines of investigation and test them scientifically to discover if they are true or not. Databases are stored in different computers, allowing the robot to think using artificial intelligence. By using the information from the databases, missing information can be used to work out new hypotheses.

Printed "month", the speaker says "week"

Explanation: Listen for "Earlier this week". So the page shows 'month'. The words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "geology", the speaker says "biology"

Printed "animated", the speaker says "excited"

Printed "omitted", the speaker says "missing"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "missing information can be". You see 'omitted' on the page. They start with different letters and end differently, so trust the audio.
