Consultant Check

In the Work view, you can have a step that uses the Consultant Check tool. In this case, a consultant can check and compare audio files and transcriptions. The consultant cannot change any audio or transcribed contents, but will use discussions to provide feedback if necessary.

Prerequisites

Therefore the project would need have audio recordings (uploaded or recorded back translations, recorded retellings or questions and answers) to listen to.

Depending on the steps in the workflow, the project would need to have a vernacular transcription, and a phrase back translation transcription and possibly others.

Procedure

Then you will see each item you selected in a column, instead of in a separate tab.

The Phrase Back Translation tab shows Version and Segments complete information. Then you can verify the version and that all the segments are complete.

Do these steps if you see the  (Play) button and the transcription in a tab:

  1. Click  to play the audio file while you read the transcription.

  2. When you have heard the audio and read the transcription, add a discussion or comment if necessary. Otherwise, click Mark Checked.

A darker background color appears on the tab you checked. The next tab becomes the current tab for you to check.

  1. If you decide to check an audio file or transcription again, click the tab and then click Review More.

Do these steps if you see the  (Play) buttons and transcriptions in columns:

  1. For each column you see, click   to play the audio file while you read the transcription.

  2. When you have heard each the audio and read the transcriptions, add a discussion or comment if necessary. Otherwise, click Mark Checked.

A darker background color appears on column headings to indicate that you checked them.

  1. If you decide to check an audio file or transcription again, click Review More and click the  button in the column you want to review again. 

Note

You can add discussions and comments about that review in Audio Project Manager (APM).
