| -Assws indo doe rh tracking of pprojectic specific look at folder structure and make sure we are satisfied with it there was no addiitional guidance to the transcribers -Update the section that includes the instructions for thre transcibers to reflect what was actually done/ some stuff is there but some stuff is not exactyly relevant On the wiki also be sure to enumerate when the column that indicates transcription status gets updated in this filer there is a folder that does x had to indicate who was to retranscribe and perofmr consensus. based off their values some got assigned consneus other |
Apr 16, 2026 | -Continue Clipping | -Finished clipping BISD024_Pre and began to clip BILP036_Pre |
Apr 15, 2026 | -Sanity check on the timepoint days apart on the Shiny app -Confluence export PDFS of the entire connected speech SOP in the case Dr.Grasso asks
| Sanity Check on Parent Folder: -Catalan BILP020 and BISD011 Pre copied from project specific folder to parent. -Spanish BISE013 12m and BISE011 Obs1 copied from project specific folder to parent.
From Shiny App:
From Meeting with Dr.Grasso: Download the R desktop app to laptop app Install certain toolboxes double click shiny app click run app counts for sonia’s project
Ranges 200-300 for 6m Ranges pre to 12m are going to be around the 300 range Ranges for pre to post are around the 50-70s
-Verify the dates
How would I verify the dates are correct for the time point visits? BILP014 Catalan example where the pre to post was over 400 days! Go to smartsheet > connected speech data analysis Catalan parent sheet. Madr information participant sheet

Mar 26, 2026 | -Update reliability spreadsheet with consensus -Continue editing Whisper Catalan Smartsheet | -Finished clipping BILP036_Pre -Started to clip BIE015_Pre -Finished updating the CS reliability sheet for Catalan and Spanish. Most congruent transcriber pair also updated on the sheet. -Finished editing the Catalan Smartsheet:
|
Mar 25, 2026 | -Update the reliability spreadsheet with new rely values -Check that transcribers have followed instructions of replacing the pre-consensus transcript with the post-consensus -Go into Catalan Whisper Smartsheet and ensure that all Pre-R01 tasks have been marked as “completed” (if applicable) |

Minor tweaks to Connected Speech Documentation: After the consensus meeting:
|
Mar 13, 2026 | -Finish Running PRE-RO1 Catalan samples that crashed + update the smart sheet.
| Noticed some participants could not be found on the smart sheet . To find these go to the Catalan parent sheet and check if all assigned tasks have been marked as “completed” as they may not be updated. If not, take note of the patient timepoints that are actually missing. BISE012 → DELETE EVERYWHERE BISE011 POST BISE010 POST, 3M, 6M. BISE007 12M BILP012 PRE BIML001 12M BILP019 3M BILP018 PRE, 12M BILP017 12M BILP015 3M, 12M BILP014 12M, 3M BILP013 12M BILP007 PRE
