Spoken article quality assessment[edit]

Version reviewed: As at 25 July 2008

Technical quality: High/Medium

Standard introduction and licence details are present and correct.
Voice is clear and does not suffer from any editing artifacts (such as excessive noise reduction).
There is background noise, but it is at a constant low level and does not affect the clarity of the voice. Two seconds of slightly louder buzzing at approximately 04:59 (at the line "With U.S. Rep. Barney Frank...").
Occasional mouse button clicks.

Clarity: High/Medium

Fairly clear enunciation.
Pacing is generally good, although longer sentences often have relatively large silent gaps between clauses—especially after commas in the text. A good example is the sentence starting "He was Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security..." (03:27), which has a stop-start flow. This does not affect the listener's understanding of the article, though.
Good use of intonation and emphasis to convey the sense of the text.

Accuracy: High/Medium

Link to the historical version correctly provided on the upload page.
All section headings and subheadings are provided correctly.
Very little hesitation and no mid-narration corrections.
Some minor variations from the text, none of which compromise the meaning:

"...leading state-controlled newspaper" read as "...leading state-controlled newspapers".
"...recommending wholesale modernization" read as "...recommended wholesale modernization".
"...the only law that was enacted" read as "...the only law that was ever enacted".
"...fraudulent and extortionate lawsuits" has a choppy edit and is read as "extraordinate lawsuits".
