Spoken article quality assessment

Version reviewed: March 30, 2009

Technical quality: Medium

Introduction and licensing information are appropriate.
Standard recording format is used (44.1 kHz 16-bit mono).
No distracting breathiness and relatively few post-processing artifacts (except as noted below).
The following issues prevent this recording from achieving a "High" Technical rating:
- Noticeable pops at 1:27, 2:15, 9:14, 12:57, 13:29, 14:20 and 17:00.
- A first take at 1:30 that was accidentally left undeleted.
- Sections 3.1 onward have a high-pitched din (most discernible on external speakers) which suggests that different noise-reduction settings were used in this portion of the article. This artifact disappears in part of Section 5 (21:37–23:52).
Other recommendations:
- There is a minor jump in the reader's volume at 11:06. Levelator is recommended to give the recording a consistent sound level.

Clarity: High

The article is clearly enunciated and the speaker's voice is easily understood.

Accuracy: High

The source material is faithfully reproduced with contents, infoboxes, quotations and images well "asided".
Voice inflections are appropriate and pauses are well timed to separate phrases and sentences. Extended quotations in particular are well inflected.
Minor deviations:
- 5:24 – "Objects and information discovered on one Age" (instead of "in one Age")
- 9:56 – "This company" (instead of "The company")
- 12:31 – Pronunciation of "palettes" ("pa-LETS" instead of "PAL-its")
