User trials: scripts for dictation tasks
Changes made to previous versions
- Capitalisation errors have been fixed. Words are now consistently capitalised if they are:
- Proper nouns (Emma, London)
- Titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss)
- Placed at the beginning of the sentence
- Placed after a full stop when the full stop replaces a comma
- Words and phrases are now highlighted if they are:
- uncommon or used in a less familiar context that consistently cause confusion ()
- spoken less clearly or incorrectly pronounced on dictation recordings 'which threatened alloy'
- antiquated or stylistically less familiar (e.g. )
- proper nouns which might have alternative spellings (e.g. Harriet, Hartfield)
- Phrases are separated such that they correspond to the dictation recordings
- In one instance, a phrase is missing from the dictation recordings so that the subject hears a grammatically confusing sentence. This has been indicated explicitly in the script to alert the subject.
- Mr./Mister/Mr incosistencies have been fixed: 'Mr' is now the only variant used.
