-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:

  • BILP014_Pre Span → Pre to 1 year follow up was <100 days. Changed year for 12m to 2023

  • BILP014_Pre Cat → Pre to 1 year follow up = 101 days. Changed year for 12m to 2023.

  • BISD013_Pre Cat to Post was > 200 days. Didn’t see anything inherently wrong with the dates. Left as is. Seems pre and mid were also scheduled far apart.

  • BILP025_Pre Span to Post was >400 days. Changed for 12m to 2024 from 2025.

  • BIML002_Pre Span to Post was > 400 days.. Changed year from pre from 2021 to 2022.

  • BISD013_Pre Cat to 6mo was > 400 days. Didn’t see anything inherently wrong with the dates. Left as is.

  • BILP008_Pre Span to 6mo was > 600 days. Changed 6m year to 2021 from 2022.

 

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.

-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)

  • Transcribers have began to populate the Box folder with the updated transcriptions (post-consensus) in the original folder. They have been updating the folders within Longitudinal PPA Project with the updated transcriptions and replacing the (pre-consensus) transcriptions.

Note that Pre-R01 Tasks consist of:

Cat Rescue, Picnic, and Important Event

Mar 23, 2026

-Confirm participant timepoints that could not be found on the smartsheet

-Run RELY for latest re-transcription sample

-I ran RELY for BILP017

Pair 2 +3 (JC + HM) → include consensus met in smartsheet

% Utterances: 100

% Words: 93.0

Pair 1+3 (NMC + HM)

% Utterances: 73.3

% Words: 91.0

 

-Finished clipping BILP035_Post and BISD024_Pre

 

 

Minor tweaks to Connected Speech Documentation:

After the consensus meeting:

  • Update the original transcript that is located in its original folder (e.g., B--Connected Speech_Data) based on the agreed changes.

  • Delete any old or unreliable transcript versions from the original folder so only the final version remains.

  • The updated transcript is now the final, reliable version and can be used for analysis. 

 

  • Record all reliability calculations and decisions in the Connected Speech Reliability Smartsheet.

  • Update Transcriber 1 and Transcriber 2 in the Smartsheet with the final reliability values (the most matching pair).

  • Previous reliability results will be documented in the project specific consensus folder within the transcriber spreadsheet.

 

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.

All changes are reflected on Box and Smartsheet. I also spoke with Arely about a few questions I had regarding clipping and using Audacity. Thanks!
