Mar 27, 2026 | -Clip samples and run whisper for recently clipped tasks. | -Finished clipping for BISE022_6m -Finished clipping for BILP034_6m, pending clarification for MAINCat task. I’ll upload the tasks on box once clarified. For now I have saved the Audacity project under my notebook. -Finished clipping BISD019_6m -I was not able to get a node for Whisper so I will work on those next week as they’ve begun to accumulate.
|
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) |
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:
|
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

Pending 7 more! -Run RELY for updated transcriptions on samples | -It looks like most consensus meetings were done yesterday and Saturday! -Helena + Jaume and Helena + Whendy are nearly done with consensus. Pending 7 more! -Prioritize clipping Pre, 12m, 6m, NOT Post or Mid! → Filter Clipping Smartsheet to show only those AND any that are not completed!! |
