If|IN you|PRP 're|VBP popular|JJ .|. 
One|CD two|CD three|CD four|CD five|CD six|CD -|: I|PRP 'm|VBP on|IN seven|CD .|. 
We|PRP 're|VBP on|IN .|. 
It|PRP 's|VBZ probably|RB the|DT P|NN _|NN Z|NNP _|NN Ms.|NN 
Yeah|UH .|. 
So|RB ,|, I|PRP think|VBP we|PRP pre-crashed|JJ ,|, so|IN I|PRP think|VBP we|PRP 're|VBP O_K|JJ .|. 
Pre-crashed|NNP .|. 
So|IN it|PRP should|MD be|VB a|DT really|RB short|JJ meeting|NN ,|, I|PRP hope|VBP .|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, agenda|NN items|NNS ,|, number|NN one|CD ,|, I|PRP wanna|VB talk|VB -|: since|IN we|PRP were|VBD just|RB discussing|VBG that|IN -|: is|VBZ microphone|NN issues|NNS .|. What|WP the|DT heck|NN are|VBP we|PRP gonna|VBG do|VBG about|IN microphones|NNS ?|. 
So|RB uh|UH I|PRP got|VBD passed|VBN on|IN that|IN the|DT E|NNP _|NN D|NNP _|NN U|NNP group|NN does|VBZ n't|RB like|VB the|DT 

Oh|UH .|. 
uh|UH ,|, Crown|NNP mikes|NNS .|. I|PRP do|VBP .|. I|PRP l-|NN I|PRP think|VBP -|: I|PRP find|VBP them|PRP very|RB comfortable|JJ .|. Uh|NNP ,|, but|CC it|PRP seems|VBZ to|TO depend|VB on|IN your|PRP$ head|NN shape|NN .|. 
Who|WP does|VBZ ?|. 
I|PRP do|VBP .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP do|VBP too|RB .|. 
So|IN you|PRP guys|NNS need|VBP to|TO start|VB going|VBG to|TO the|DT E|NNP _|NN D|NNP _|NN U|NNP meetings|NNS .|. 
I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
Yeah|UH right|JJ .|. 
They|PRP do|VBP n't|RB work|VB for|IN me|PRP very|RB well|RB .|. I|PRP much|JJ prefer|VBP these|DT .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ right|JJ .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. Um|NNP ,|, 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Me|PRP too|RB .|. 
So|RB do|VBP I.|NN 
I|PRP prefer|VBP these|DT ,|, but|CC I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB mind|VB using|VBG those|DT .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Th-|NNP those|DT are|VBP intimidating|VBG .|. 
So|RB apparently|RB they|PRP -|: they|PRP like|VBP 
It|PRP has|VBZ one|CD good|JJ effect|NN ,|, that|IN people|NNS are|VBP trying|VBG to|TO get|VB there|RB early|RB because|IN the|DT people|NNS who|WP get|VBP there|EX early|JJ get|VB to|TO pick|VB the|DT mike|NN .|. 

O_K|JJ .|. 

Interesting|JJ .|. 
People|NNS who|WP show|VBP up|RB late|JJ have|VBP to|TO use|VB these|DT .|. So|RB ,|, 
um|NN ,|, we|PRP should|MD probably|RB get|VB different|JJ mikes|NNS .|. So|IN the|DT question|NN is|VBZ ,|, the|DT easiest|JJS thing|NN to|TO do|VB is|VBZ certainly|RB to|TO just|RB get|VB two|CD more|JJR ,|, um|NN ,|, 
Sony|NNP mikes|NNS .|. 
Just|RB two|CD more|JJR of|IN those|DT ,|, um|NN .|. And|CC that|IN -|: that|DT 's|VBZ easy|JJ and|CC that|DT will|MD certainly|RB work|VB .|. 
The|DT other|JJ option|NN is|VBZ to|TO try|VB yet|RB another|DT mike|NN .|. 

Find|VBP one|CD we|PRP like|VBP and|CC potentially|RB get|VB six|CD ,|, all|PDT the|DT same|JJ .|. 
I|PRP have|VBP a|DT question|NN about|IN this|DT .|. 
Are|VBP the|DT auditory|NN quality|NN -|: Is|VBZ it|PRP ,|, uh|UH ,|, much|JJ different|JJ between|IN this|DT kind|NN and|CC the|DT -|: the|DT fancy|JJ ones|NNS ?|. 
Um|NNP ,|, these|DT are|VBP better|JJR ,|, if|IN they|PRP 're|VBP worn|JJ correctly|RB .|. 
They|PRP are|VBP .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Those|DT are|VBP better|JJR than|IN the|DT Sonys|NNP ?|. 
Have|VBP you|PRP -|: 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, definitely|RB .|. 
Have|VBP you|PRP listened|VBD to|TO -|: to|TO them|PRP ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
So|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, they|PRP 're|VBP not|RB a|DT lot|NN better|JJR ,|, but|CC they|PRP are|VBP a|DT little|JJ better|JJR .|. 
Are|VBP they|PRP more|JJR directional|NN ,|, the|DT microphones|NNS ,|, as|RB far|RB as|IN -|: 
Um|NNP ,|, they|PRP 're|VBP more|JJR directional|NN ,|, a|DT little|JJ better|JJR error|NN -|: uh|UH ,|, noise|NN cancellation|NN ,|, and|CC also|RB you|PRP can|MD really|RB get|VB it|PRP right|NN in|IN front|NN of|IN your|PRP$ mouth|NN ,|, like|IN this|DT ,|, whereas|IN that|DT one|CD ,|, to|TO avoid|VB breath|NN noise|NN ,|, you|PRP really|RB have|VBP to|TO put|VB it|PRP at|IN -|: to|TO the|DT side|NN .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
So|IN you|PRP seem|VBP to|TO get|VB better|JJR signal|NN with|IN this|DT one|CD .|. 
The|DT other|JJ thing|NN is|VBZ ,|, is|VBZ it|PRP just|RB a|DT few|JJ people|NNS who|WP do|VBP n't|RB like|VB them|PRP in|IN the|DT E|NNP _|NN D|NNP _|NN U|NNP group|NN ?|. Cuz|NNP -|: 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB ,|, but|CC -|: you|PRP know|VBP ,|, in|IN -|: in|IN sort|NN of|IN random|JJ polling|NN 
L-|NNP Liz|NNP -|: Liz|NNP said|VBD something|NN that|WDT leaves|VBZ me|PRP believing|VBG that|DT nobody|NN likes|VBZ them|PRP .|. 
They|PRP are|VBP ver-|NN 
Gosh|NNP ,|, cuz|NN I|PRP much|JJ prefer|VBP them|PRP ,|, I|PRP think|VBP they|PRP 're|VBP a|DT whole|JJ lot|NN ,|, multiple|JJ levels|NNS ,|, better|JJR .|. 
It|PRP seems|VBZ a|DT shame|NN t-|NN to|TO discard|VB -|: discard|VB them|PRP if|IN -|: if|IN they|PRP 're|VBP better|JJR auditory|NN quality|NN and|CC there|EX 're|VBP only|RB a|DT few|JJ people|NNS who|WP dis-|NN who|WP object|VBP .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, so|RB s-|NN 
Right|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ why|WRB I|PRP was|VBD saying|VBG if|IN we|PRP could|MD just|RB unplug|VB them|PRP and|CC plug|VB them|PRP in|IN .|. 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ the|DT other|JJ option|NN ,|, is|VBZ that|IN we|PRP could|MD switch|VB the|DT form|NN so|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ more|RBR obvious|JJ the|DT distinction|NN between|IN channel|NN and|CC mike|NN ,|, um|NN ,|, and|CC then|RB get|VB 

You|PRP know|VBP ,|, pretty|RB -|: 

duplicates|NNS .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, there|EX 's|VBZ no|DT problem|NN with|IN that|DT .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ just|RB -|: what|WP -|: 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
Should|MD we|PRP get|VB just|RB more|JJR Sony|NNP ones|NNS ?|. I|PRP hate|VBP the|DT Sony|NNP ones|NNS .|. 
Which|WDT ones|NNS are|VBP those|DT ?|. 
b-|NN the|DT one|CD you|PRP 're|VBP wearing|VBG .|. Because|IN it|PRP -|: it|PRP pinches|NNS -|: 
The|DT one|CD I|PRP 'm|VBP wearing|VBG ?|. Oh|UH .|. 
Those|DT .|. 
pinches|NNS the|DT temples|NNS too|RB much|JJ .|. 
Oh|UH .|. 
And|CC -|: 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, so|RB ,|, if|IN you|PRP wear|VBP it|PRP sort|NN of|IN around|IN the|DT back|NN ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ not|RB too|RB bad|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
I|PRP hate|VBP it|PRP because|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ hard|JJ to|TO adjust|VB the|DT microphone|NN .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP spend|VBP all|PDT this|DT time|NN fumbling|VBG around|IN with|IN it|PRP and|CC still|RB not|RB 
Yeah|UH .|. 
But|CC I|PRP -|: 
Right|RB .|. 
reasonable|JJ ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
So|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, we|PRP could|MD try|VB another|DT mike|NN .|. 
But|CC then|RB we|PRP have|VBP the|DT wiring|NN issue|NN ,|, and|CC -|: So|IN I|PRP -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB what|WP to|TO do|VB .|. What|WP do|VBP -|: what|WP do|VBP people|NNS think|VBP ?|. 
But|CC the|DT problem|NN is|VBZ again|RB the|DT -|: the|DT plug|NN ,|, or|CC -|: ?|. 
Wh-|NNP 
The|DT plug|NN is|VBZ proprietary|JJ .|. So|RB that|DT 's|VBZ why|WRB I|PRP was|VBD saying|VBG getting|VBG more|JJR Sony|NNP ones|NNS is|VBZ trivial|JJ ,|, because|IN we|PRP can|MD just|RB go|VB out|IN and|CC buy|VB them|PRP .|. Any|DT other|JJ ones|NNS we|PRP have|VBP to|TO buy|VB them|PRP in|IN pigtail|NN versions|NNS and|CC get|VB them|PRP wired|VBN .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 

O_K|JJ ,|, n-|NN now|RB may-|NN maybe|RB I|PRP just|RB do|VBP n't|RB know|VB this|DT but|CC ,|, um|NN ,|, are|VBP the|DT only|RB two|CD possibilities|NNS from|IN Sony|NNP the|DT two|CD that|IN we|PRP 've|VBP tried|VBN ?|. Or|CC is|VBZ there|EX another|DT -|: 
Yes|UH .|. 
So|RB ,|, the|DT only|JJ possibilities|NNS from|IN Sony|NNP are|VBP that|IN one|CD and|CC the|DT lapel|NN mike|NN .|. 
I|PRP see|VBP .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
So|IN this|DT is|VBZ n't|RB Sony|NNP .|. This|DT is|VBZ Crown|NNP .|. The|DT one|CD we|PRP 're|VBP wearing|VBG .|. 
Is|VBZ n't|RB that|DT something|NN .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
And|CC so|IN we|PRP had|VBD these|DT wired|VBN for|IN us|PRP .|. 
Oh|UH .|. I|PRP see|VBP .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP s-|NN It|PRP seems|VBZ like|IN right|RB now|RB if|IN -|: if|IN u-|NN what|WP they|PRP 're|VBP complaining|VBG are|VBP those|DT ,|, if|IN we|PRP just|RB got|VBD two|CD more|JJR of|IN these|DT -|: 
And|CC so|RB -|: 
Huh|NNP ,|, I|PRP remember|VBP that|DT now|RB .|. 
I|PRP think|VBP that|DT 's|VBZ probably|RB the|DT right|NN first|RB step|NN is|VBZ just|RB get|VB two|CD more|RBR immediately|RB ,|, and|CC have|VBP them|PRP available|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
And|CC then|RB they|PRP can|MD just|RB unplug|VB those|DT from|IN the|DT -|: 
Right|RB .|. 
And|CC just|RB make|VB sure|JJ that|IN you|PRP write|VBP down|RB "|'' Crown|NNP "|'' or|CC "|'' Sony|NNP "|'' on|IN the|DT mike|NN number|NN ,|, which|WDT I|PRP 'll|MD change|VB to|TO mike|NN type|NN ,|, or|CC something|NN like|IN that|DT .|. 
transmitter|NN .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
It|PRP might|MD be|VB good|JJ to|TO double|VB check|NN at|IN the|DT end|NN of|IN the|DT meeting|NN too|RB ,|, cuz|NN that|WDT would|MD be|VB an|DT easy|JJ place|NN for|IN ,|, uh|UH ,|, an|DT error|NN in|IN the|DT data|NNS .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
For|IN it|PRP to|TO be|VB forgotten|VBN .|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP 'll|MD be|VB me|PRP -|: 
It|PRP 'll|MD be|VB whoever|WP 's|VBZ setting|VBG up|RP the|DT meeting|NN ,|, who|WP fills|VBZ out|RP the|DT key|JJ file|NN ,|, so|RB 
O_K|JJ ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ just|RB -|: I|PRP 'm|VBP just|RB thinking|VBG that|IN if|IN -|: it|PRP 'd|MD be|VB -|: yeah|NN ,|, but|CC I|PRP know|VBP -|: but|CC I|PRP mean|VBP to|TO have|VB the|DT user|NN fill|NN it|PRP out|IN would|MD n't|RB be|VB as|RB reliable|JJ as|IN have|VBP the|DT -|: 
It|PRP has|VBZ the|DT same|JJ potential|NN for|IN error|NN as|IN everything|NN else|RB .|. 
No|DT ,|, no|DT ,|, we|PRP definitely|RB would|MD not|RB have|VB the|DT user|NN fill|NN it|PRP out|RP .|. It|PRP would|MD be|VB me|PRP ,|, Chuck|NNP ,|, or|CC Liz|NNP ,|, depending|VBG on|IN which|WDT meeting|NN it|PRP is|VBZ .|. 
Good|JJ ,|, O_K|JJ .|. 
Perfect|NNP .|. 
Perfect|NNP ,|, O_K|JJ .|. 
O_K|JJ ,|, so|IN we|PRP 'll|MD de-|NN definitely|RB go|VB ahead|RB and|CC do|VBP that|DT .|. 
How|WRB much|JJ is|VBZ it|PRP just|RB to|TO buy|VB the|DT mike|NN ?|. 
Couple|NN hundred|CD .|. 
Really|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Is|VBZ that|IN more|JJR or|CC less|JJR than|IN you|PRP thought|VBD ?|. 
It|PRP depends|VBZ on|IN how|WRB good|JJ the|DT mike|NN is|VBZ .|. 
Oh|UH that|DT 's|VBZ way|NN more|JJR than|IN I|PRP thought|VBD .|. I|PRP -|: yeah|NN .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, O_K|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
For|IN one|CD of|IN these|DT ?|. 
Well|RB the|DT Crown|NNP ones|NNS were|VBD like|IN two-fifty|JJ .|. I|PRP think|VBP those|DT are|VBP like|IN one-ninety|JJ .|. 
God|NNP .|. 
Oops|NNP .|. 
Wow|UH !|. 
But|CC .|. 
Is|VBZ there|EX any|DT educational|JJ discount|NN ?|. 
Yeah|UH right|JJ .|. 




No.|NN 
Student|NN discount|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, good|JJ mikes|NNS are|VBP expensive|JJ .|. So|RB .|. 
And|CC when|WRB I|PRP was|VBD at|IN Computer|NNP Motion|NNP we|PRP used|VBD Shure|NNP ,|, the|DT S|NNP _|NN M-|NNP ten-|NN A|NNP 's|NNP ,|, and|CC I|PRP think|VBP they|PRP were|VBD only|RB like|IN eighty|NN bucks|NNS or|CC something|NN .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, eighty|NN or|CC ninety|CD for|IN the|DT Shures|NNP .|. So|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. But|CC they|PRP were|VBD -|: they|PRP seemed|VBD pretty|RB good|JJ .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, the|DT Sony|NNP ones|NNS are|VBP expensive|JJ because|IN they|PRP 're|VBP proprietary|JJ ,|, so|IN they|PRP can|MD charge|VB whatever|WDT they|PRP want|VBP .|. These|DT are|VBP expensive|JJ because|IN they|PRP 're|VBP quite|RB high|JJ quality|NN .|. So|RB .|. 
Oh|UH .|. 
Right|RB ,|, right|JJ .|. 
So|IN we|PRP should|MD buzz|VB that|IN out|IN if|IN we|PRP send|VBP the|DT data|NNS to|TO Sony|NNP .|. 




Ah|UH ,|, come|VB on|IN .|. 



We|PRP should|MD keep|VB a|DT list|NN of|IN things|NNS we|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG bleep|VBG out|IN and|CC the|DT conditions|NNS under|IN which|WDT -|: 

Well|RB ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP just|RB joking|VBG .|. 
So|RB ,|, you|PRP do|VBP not|RB have|VB to|TO bleep|NN that|IN out|RP .|. I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB mind|VB if|IN Sony|NNP knows|VBZ my|PRP$ opinion|NN .|. So|RB .|. 

Hmm|NNP .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Also|RB ,|, we|PRP 're|VBP pro-|JJ I|PRP wanna|VB double|VB check|NN with|IN Morgan|NNP ,|, he|PRP did|VBD say|VB yes|UH before|IN I|PRP went|VBD to|TO Japan|NNP on|IN buying|VBG another|DT wireless|JJ system|NN so|IN that|IN we|PRP can|MD go|VB all|DT wireless|JJ ,|, instead|RB of|IN the|DT mix|NN of|IN wired|VBN and|CC wireless|JJ .|. And|CC I|PRP think|VBP that|DT 's|VBZ the|DT right|JJ thing|NN to|TO do|VB .|. 
So|RB then|RB all|PDT those|DT red|JJ channels|NNS there|RB would|MD become|VB wireless|JJ ones|NNS ?|. 
And|CC I|PRP 'm|VBP -|: 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Cool|VB .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Uh-huh|NNP .|. 
Four|CD more|RBR wireless|JJ .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
And|CC also|RB I|PRP 'm|VBP gonna|VBG re-|VBG probably|RB replace|VB the|DT Andrea|NNP mike|NN with|IN a|DT Shure|NNP ,|, but|CC I|PRP 'll|MD test|VB it|PRP ,|, uh|UH ,|, sometime|RB today|NN or|CC tomorrow|NN to|TO make|VB sure|JJ the|DT Shure|NNP one|CD really|RB works|VBZ ,|, cuz|NN I|PRP have|VBP an|DT extra|JJ Shure|NNP in|IN my|PRP$ office|NN .|. 
The|DT Andrea|NNP mike|NN ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, apparently|RB it|PRP 's|VBZ had|VBD some|DT problems|NNS .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ causing|VBG problems|NNS ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
Which|WDT one|CD is|VBZ the|DT Andrea|NNP mike|NN ?|. 
It|PRP was|VBD over|IN here|RB sometimes|RB .|. 
A|DT wired|VBN one|CD ?|. 
The|DT -|: yeah|NN a|DT wired|VBN one|CD .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ uh|UH -|: 
Well|RB ,|, if|IN you|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG go|VBG to|TO all|DT wireless|JJ ,|, 
Oh|UH ,|, you|PRP mean|VBP in|IN the|DT meantime|NN .|. 
This|DT one|CD .|. 
In|IN the|DT meantime|NN ,|, right|NN ,|, because|IN uh|UH -|: 
Ah|UH ,|, I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 

it|PRP 'll|MD -|: it|PRP 'll|MD probably|RB take|VB a|DT couple|NN weeks|NNS to|TO get|VB it|PRP delivered|VBD from|IN Sony|NNP anyway|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
I|PRP have|VBP n't|RB -|: In|IN the|DT meetings|NNS that|IN I|PRP recorded|VBD s-|NN 
So|RB -|: 
It|PRP 's|VBZ always|RB been|VBN at|IN most|JJS six|CD people|NNS ,|, so|IN I|PRP 've|VBP never|RB had|VBN to|TO -|: 
Oh|UH really|RB ?|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Recently|RB I|PRP have|VBP n't|RB had|VBN to|TO used|VBD any|DT of|IN the|DT wired|JJ ones|NNS at|IN all|DT .|. 
I|PRP guess|VBP cuz|NN everyone|NN 's|POS been|VBN out|IN of|IN town|NN .|. Probably|RB over|IN the|DT summer|NN it|PRP 'll|MD be|VB the|DT same|JJ cuz|NN it|PRP tends|VBZ to|TO be|VB less|JJR ,|, 
Yeah|UH .|. 
fewer|JJR people|NNS .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, 
File|NNP -|: 
Uh|NNP ,|, done|VBN with|IN microphone|NN issues|NNS ,|, I|PRP think|VBP ?|. 

Should|MD we|PRP close|VB the|DT door|NN ?|. 
If|IN you|PRP want|VBP .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP thinking|VBG -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB about|IN the|DT acoustics|NNS .|. That|DT 's|VBZ -|: that|DT 's|VBZ all|DT I|PRP was|VBD wondering|VBG about|IN .|. 
And|CC this|DT way|NN we|PRP can|MD get|VB a|DT door-slam|JJ in|IN the|DT uh|UH -|: in|IN the|DT transcript|NN file|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH that|DT 's|VBZ right|NN ,|, we|PRP gotta|VB get|VB the|DT obligatory|JJ door-slam|JJ .|. 

Oh|UH well|RB .|. No-|NNP not|RB quite|RB a|DT slam|VBP .|. 


There|EX 's|VBZ some|DT knocks|VBZ .|. 



Get|VB a|DT special|JJ phone|NN for|IN that|DT .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, the|DT door-slam|JJ phone|NN ?|. 
I|PRP guess|VBP ,|, right|NN ,|, the|DT door-slam|JJ phone|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
You|PRP have|VBP a|DT special|JJ phone|NN ?|. 
No|DT ,|, we|PRP could|MD add|VB one|CD .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, we|PRP could|MD add|VB one|CD ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
And|CC then|RB we|PRP could|MD have|VB the|DT phone|NN phone|NN ,|, 
Yeah|UH .|. 

That|DT 's|VBZ an|DT idea|NN .|. 
for|IN -|: for|IN when|WRB the|DT phone|NN rings|NNS .|. 

Um|NNP ,|, 
Uh|NNP ,|, file|VB reorganization|NN .|. 
This|DT is|VBZ something|NN we|PRP were|VBD talking|VBG about|IN before|IN I|PRP left|VBD and|CC saying|VBG we|PRP should|MD probably|RB wait|VB until|IN after|IN I|PRP 'm|VBP back|RB ,|, and|CC now|RB I|PRP 'm|VBP back|RB ,|, so|RB ,|, we|PRP should|MD do|VB that|DT at|IN some|DT point|NN .|. So|IN we|PRP should|MD 
get|VB ourselves|PRP a|DT list|NN of|IN everything|NN we|PRP wanna|VB do|VB to|TO reorganize|VB the|DT file|NN structure|NN and|CC anything|NN else|RB .|. 

Can|MD I|PRP -|: can|MD I|PRP just|RB mention|VBP something|NN ?|. 
Sure|RB .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, uh|UH ,|, I|PRP think|VBP the|DT file|NN regards|VBZ reorganization|NN .|. Also|RB ,|, um|NN ,|, another|DT issue|NN there|EX is|VBZ disk|NN space|NN probably|RB ,|, right|NN ?|. Um|NNP ,|, so|RB 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
I|PRP know|VBP that|IN the|DT files|NNS that|IN you|PRP 've|VBP been|VBN cutting|VBG up|RP for|IN us|PRP 
f-|NN for|IN the|DT recognition|NN experiments|NNS ,|, uh|UH ,|, one|CD way|NN -|: one|CD really|RB 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
brain|NN -|: 
uh|UH ,|, brain-dead|JJ way|NN of|IN -|: of|IN -|: of|IN 
not|RB causing|VBG any|DT trouble|NN ,|, but|CC saving|VBG disk|NN space|NN is|VBZ to|TO ,|, uh|UH ,|, use|NN the|DT s-|NN the|DT

to|TO -|: to|TO encode|NN ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, to|TO compress|NNS them|PRP .|. 
Shorten|NNP .|. Is|VBZ that|IN the|DT same|JJ as|IN shorten|VB ?|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, yeah|NN ,|, but|CC it|PRP does|VBZ it|PRP s-|NN it|PRP happens|VBZ so|IN that|IN the|DT program|NN that|WDT reads|VBZ the|DT waveforms|NNS does|VBZ the|DT unshortening|VBG transparently|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Well|RB ,|, O_K|JJ ,|, you|PRP mean|VBP it|PRP 's|VBZ built|VBN into|IN the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP ,|, because|IN we|PRP have|VBP the|DT same|JJ thing|NN with|IN shorten|VB in|IN the|DT sound|NN tools|NNS .|. 
So|RB .|. 
Y-|NNP uh|UH ,|, I|PRP guess|VBP ,|, but|RB it|PRP 
um|NN ,|, 
So|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ just|RB a|DT question|NN of|IN -|: of|IN what|WP decompression|NN is|VBZ built|VBN into|IN your|PRP$ tools|NNS .|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: 
Well|RB like|IN -|: Hhh|NNP .|. 
It|PRP 's|VBZ actually|RB built|VBN into|IN the|DT Sphere|NNP library|NN that|IN NIST|NNP delivers|VBZ ,|, so|RB -|: Right|RB .|. 
Oh|UH really|RB ?|. I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB know|VB that|DT .|.

For|IN the|DT -|: 
At|IN least|JJS Feacalc|NNP does|VBZ n't|RB .|. 
At|IN least|JJS Feacalc|NNP does|VBZ n't|RB .|. So|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ not|RB a|DT sound|NN tool|NN ,|, right|JJ .|. 
But|CC since|IN -|: since|IN these|DT files|NNS are|VBP made|VBN to|TO be|VB used|VBN with|IN the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP recognizer|NN ,|, 
uh|UH and|CC the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP front-end|JJ uses|VBZ the|DT Sphere|NNP library|NN which|WDT in|IN turn|NN does|VBZ this|DT

um|NN ,|, 
uh|UH ,|, that|WDT will|MD be|VB a|DT quick|JJ and|CC -|:

Yeah|UH .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
The|DT other|JJ thing|NN I|PRP could|MD do|VB to|TO relieve|VB some|DT of|IN the|DT pressure|NN um|NN is|VBZ just|RB move|NN everything|NN 
to|TO my|PRP$ eighteen|NN gig|NN disk|NN ,|, which|WDT is|VBZ local|JJ .|. 
But|CC that|DT 's|VBZ gonna|VBG be|VBG only|RB temporary|JJ .|. 
Well|RB ,|, 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB -|: 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, you|PRP should|MD do|VB that|DT too|RB ,|, 
probably|RB ,|, but|CC -|: but|CC as|IN you|PRP do|VBP that|DT you|PRP can|MD also|RB just|RB run|VB the|DT -|: 
Yeah|UH ,|, it|PRP is|VBZ kind|NN of|IN a|DT temporary|JJ solution|NN .|. 
To|TO shorten|VB everything|NN .|. 
well|RB ,|, actually|RB ,|, the|DT -|: th-|NN what|WP you|PRP do|VBP is|VBZ you|PRP run|VBP -|: 
Oh|UH ,|, now|RB I|PRP have|VBP another|DT use|NN for|IN the|DT -|: 
The|DT way|NN I|PRP recently|RB used|VBD it|PRP ,|, and|CC there|EX might|MD be|VB better|JJR ways|NNS -|: So|IN the|DT program|NN 's|POS called|VBN W|NNP _|NN encode|NN .|. 
Mmm|NNP .|. 
And|CC I|PRP think|VBP the|DT type|NN ,|, y-|NN you|PRP say|VBP um|NN 
I|PRP think|VBP dash|NN T|NN _|NN and|CC then|RB there|EX are|VBP different|JJ -|: 
different|JJ encoding|JJ methods|NNS ,|, but|CC if|IN you|PRP wanna|VB use|VB the|DT shorten|VB one|CD ,|, you|PRP say|VBP d-|NN "|'' minus|CC T|NN _|NN shorten|VB "|'' ,|, 
and|CC then|RB the|DT old|JJ 
uh|UH wavefile|NN and|CC the|DT new|JJ

the|DT shell|NN "|'' AND|CC "|'' operator|NN or|CC something|NN .|. 
Then|RB I|PRP just|RB move|VBP the|DT 
new|JJ wavefile|NN to|TO the|DT ,|, 
you|PRP know|VBP ,|, to|TO the|DT old|JJ 
Right|RB .|. 
wavefile|NN ,|, and|CC then|RB you|PRP have|VBP replaced|VBN the|DT old|JJ one|CD with|IN one|CD that|WDT behaves|VBZ identically|RB as|RB long|RB as|IN your|PRP$ programs|NNS that|WDT use|NN it|PRP know|VBP how|WRB to|TO 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
decode|NN it|PRP on|IN the|DT fly|NN .|. 
And|CC that|DT -|: 
O_K|JJ .|. 
that|IN just|RB saved|VBN my|PRP$ butt|NN because|IN I|PRP actually|RB was|VBD running|VBG -|: On|IN a|DT different|JJ experiment|NN ,|, I|PRP had|VBD

I|PRP was|VBD processing|VBG the|DT whole|JJ Switchboard-two|NNP corpus|NN ,|, which|WDT is|VBZ two|CD hundred|CD eighty|NN hours|NNS of|IN speech|NN ,|,

Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
And|CC -|: and|CC so|RB 
I|PRP uh|UH had|VBD this|DT flash|VBP of|IN inspiration|NN of|IN just|RB uh|UH the|DT same|JJ -|: the|DT same|JJ disk|NN had|VBD the|DT segmented|JJ waveforms|NNS on|IN them|PRP ,|, so|IN I|PRP -|: 

Shortening|NNP everything|NN on|IN the|DT fly|NN .|. 
while|IN this|DT other|JJ thing|NN was|VBD still|RB going|VBG on|IN ,|, I|PRP was|VBD run-|NN I|PRP was|VBD running|VBG this|DT -|: this|DT thing|NN .|. 
You|PRP had|VBD another|DT process|NN running|VBG that|WDT was|VBD shortening|VBG it|PRP .|. Yep|NNP .|. 

Wow|UH ,|, wow|UH !|. 
And|CC low|NN and|CC behold|NN I|PRP gained|VBD three|CD g-|NN three|CD gig|NN of|IN space|NN and|CC um|NN ,|, you|PRP know|VBP -|: 
Wow|UH !|. 

Did|VBD you|PRP have|VBP to|TO re-nice|JJ one|CD of|IN the|DT processes|NNS to|TO make|VB sure|JJ that|IN "|'' shorten|VB "|'' ?|. 
No|DT ,|, no|UH .|. Actually|RB it|PRP was|VBD fast|RB enough|RB .|. This|DT is|VBZ very|RB fast|RB .|. This|DT -|: this|DT really|RB runs|VBZ quickly|RB .|. And|CC that|DT 's|VBZ -|: 


Wow|UH .|. 
That|DT must|MD have|VB been|VBN suspenseful|JJ .|. 
Watching|VBG the|DT disk|NN meter|NN .|. 
That|DT was|VBD very|RB suspenseful|JJ .|. That|DT was|VBD -|: that|WDT was|VBD the|DT most|JJS excitement|NN I|PRP had|VBD all|DT weekend|NN .|. Uh|NNP ,|, uh|UH boy|NN ,|, it|PRP uh|UH came|VBD out|IN just|RB fine|NN .|. So|RB .|. 



To|TO be|VB O_K|JJ .|. 
You|PRP know|VBP what|WP would|MD be|VB a|SYM -|: 
u-|NN I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN this|DT would|MD mess|VB other|JJ things|NNS up|RB ,|, but|RB -|: 
It|PRP seems|VBZ like|IN kind|NN of|IN a|DT pain|NN to|TO have|VB all|DT these|DT split|NN up|RP files|NNS around|IN .|. What|WP would|MD be|VB easier|JJR would|MD be|VB like|IN pointers|NNS .|. 
The|DT list|NN ,|, yep|NN .|. 
You|PRP know|VBP ,|, lists|NNS like|IN "|'' original|JJ wavefile|NN ,|, start|VB ,|, end|NN "|'' .|. 
Start|NNP end|NN .|. 
This|DT is|VBZ -|: 
Yep|NNP ,|, the|DT way|NN Feacalc|NNP -|: calc|NN does|VBZ it|PRP .|. 
Right|RB ,|, the|DT -|: the|DT only|JJ reason|NN we|PRP do|VBP this|DT is|VBZ because|IN the|DT -|: the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP front-end|JJ does|VBZ n't|RB have|VB a|DT way|NN to|TO -|: to|TO um|NN 
go|VB into|IN a|DT l-|NN a|DT longer|RBR file|NN with|IN indices|NNS .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, so|IN I|PRP -|: I|PRP suppose|VBP 
And|CC segment|NN on|IN the|DT fly|NN .|. 
someone|NN could|MD try|VB to|TO put|VB a|DT hack|VB like|IN that|DT into|IN the|DT -|: 
It|PRP would|MD be|VB easy|JJ .|. 
It|PRP would|MD n't|RB be|VB hard|RB at|IN all|DT .|. Someone|NN just|RB needs|VBZ to|TO d-|NN sit|VB down|RB and|CC do|VBP it|PRP who|WP has|VBZ some|DT time|NN .|. 
So|RB .|. 
But|CC there|EX 's|VBZ also|RB some|DT -|: I|PRP guess|VBP -|: 
And|CC that|DT way|NN we|PRP would|MD n't|RB have|VB multiple|JJ versions|NNS floating|VBG around|IN .|. About|IN the|DT only|JJ difficulty|NN with|IN that|DT is|VBZ if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ compressed|VBN .|. 
Then|RB you|PRP really|RB do|VBP have|VBP to|TO decompress|NNS it|PRP first|JJ .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ true|JJ .|. 
Right|RB ?|. Because|IN the|DT pointers|NNS are|VBP -|: 
Y-|NNP you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB how|WRB much|JJ it|PRP 's|VBZ comp-|NN 
Well|RB ,|, is|VBZ there|EX -|: is|VBZ there|EX -|: is|VBZ there|EX a|DT NIST|NNP routine|JJ which|WDT 
It|PRP does|VBZ n't|RB compress|NNS it|PRP by|IN a|DT fixed|JJ amount|NN .|. 
Exactly|RB .|. Right|RB right|JJ right|JJ right|JJ right|JJ .|. 
can|MD seek|VB 
in|IN a|DT compressed|JJ file|NN but|CC with|IN uncompressed|JJ indices|NNS ?|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB think|VB so|RB .|. 
And|CC yeah|NN I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, that|IN -|: it|PRP -|: 
No|DT ,|, no|UH .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, if|IN you|PRP -|: 
Th-|NNP the|DT -|: the|DT -|: the|DT -|: 
If|IN you|PRP can|MD operate|VB on|IN the|DT full|JJ -|: 
If|IN you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB have|VB to|TO segment|NN it|PRP ,|, then|RB there|EX would|MD be|VB less|JJR of|IN a|DT reason|NN to|TO do|VB the|DT compression|NN ,|, because|IN you|PRP do|VBP n't|RB have|VB that|DT wasted|VBD -|: 

Right|RB .|. 
that|IN extra|JJ copy|NN .|. So|RB .|. 
Right|RB we|PRP -|: I|PRP mean|VBP the|DT original|JJ Switchboard|NNP files|NNS are|VBP not|RB compressed|VBN ,|, right|NN ?|. So|IN we|PRP could|MD leave|VB those|DT as|IN they|PRP are|VBP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it|PRP just|RB depends|VBZ on|IN how|WRB much|JJ disk|NN space|NN is|VBZ a|DT problem|NN .|. I|PRP mean|VBP the|DT -|: what|WP you|PRP could|MD do|VB is|VBZ decompress|NNS it|PRP to|TO a|DT temporary|JJ place|NN and|CC then|RB operate|VB on|IN it|PRP and|CC then|RB delete|VB it|PRP .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
But|CC .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, the|DT segmentation|NN also|RB saves|VBZ you|PRP space|NN in|IN the|DT sense|NN that|IN you|PRP cut|VBP out|RP all|PDT the|DT nonspeech|NN regions|NNS .|. 
Just|RB silences|NNS ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
And|CC if|IN you|PRP have|VBP ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, twenty|CD channels|NNS and|CC only|RB five|CD speakers|NNS ,|, then|RB it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: 
That|DT 's|VBZ true|JJ .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Well|RB ,|, assuming|VBG you|PRP 'd|MD -|: Yeah|UH .|. Assuming|VBG that|IN you|PRP then|RB off-load|JJ the|DT original|JJ 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Switchboard|NNP files|NNS .|. 
So|RB .|. 

Mmm|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Well|RB ,|, it|PRP seems|VBZ like|IN just|RB shortening|VBG them|PRP is|VBZ a|DT good|JJ short-term|JJ solution|NN so|IN we|PRP do|VBP n't|RB have|VB to|TO do|VB any|DT coding|VBG .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
But|CC I|PRP think|VBP -|: kind|NN of|IN -|: We|PRP 've|VBP had|VBN -|: There|EX was|VBD a|DT big|JJ disk|NN crash|NN when|WRB you|PRP were|VBD gone|VBN and|CC -|: 
So|RB .|. 
No|DT ,|, it|PRP was|VBD -|: I|PRP was|VBD still|RB here|RB .|. It|PRP was|VBD the|DT day|NN I|PRP left|VBD .|. 
Oh|UH was|VBD that|IN the|DT day|NN you|PRP left|VBD ?|. 

That|DT 's|VBZ suspicious|JJ .|. 

He|PRP did|VBD it|PRP on|IN purpose|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 

Leave|VB to|TO Japan|NNP the|DT day|NN the|DT disk|NN crashes|NNS .|. 
No|DT if|IN I|PRP -|: if|IN I|PRP had|VBD done|VBN it|PRP on|IN purpose|NN I|PRP would|MD have|VB timed|VBN it|PRP right|NN after|IN I|PRP left|VBD .|. 





But|CC ,|, um|NN -|: Yeah|UH so|RB ,|, Chuck|NNP helped|VBD me|PRP out|IN in|IN ,|, uh|UH ,|, r-|NN 
regenerating|VBG all|PDT the|DT cha-|NN the|DT different|JJ channel|NN files|NNS for|IN like|IN a|DT few|JJ meetings|NNS -|: for|IN like|IN six|CD meetings|NNS .|. So|IN I|PRP think|VBP they|PRP 're|VBP split|VBN up|RB even|RB further|RB .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ kind|NN of|IN even|RB more|RBR disorganized|JJ now|RB since|IN 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 

we|PRP moved|VBD some|DT of|IN the|DT meetings|NNS to|TO different|JJ directories|NNS .|. 
They|PRP 're|VBP on|IN a|DT different|JJ disk|NN even|RB ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Are|VBP they|PRP ?|. 
I|PRP think|VBP -|: you|PRP -|: did|VBD n't|RB you|PRP expand|VBP them|PRP to|TO X|NNP _|NN E|NNP on|IN Abbott|NNP ?|. 
X|NN _|NN F.|NN 
No|DT ,|, you|PRP -|: the|DT ones|NNS that|DT 
Oh|UH ,|, different|JJ ones|NNS ?|. 
You|PRP -|: the|DT ones|NNS that|IN you|PRP put|VBP them|PRP on|IN when|WRB you|PRP put|VBP them|PRP on|IN X|NNP _|NN E.|NN 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB remember|VB where|WRB I|PRP put|VBP them|PRP now|RB .|. 
I|PRP think|VBP you|PRP put|VBP them|PRP on|IN X|NNP _|NN E.|NN So|RB .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Well|RB what|WP we|PRP -|: what|WP we|PRP found|VBD out|IN was|VBD that|DT um|NN the|DT disk|NN that|DT crashed|VBD 
was|VBD -|: it|PRP -|: w-|NN with|IN a|SYM -|: with|IN a|DT meta|NN disk|NN allocation|NN ,|, you|PRP had|VBD both|DT c-|NN t-|NN transcripts|NNS and|CC the|DT shortened|JJ files|NNS and|CC the|DT expanded|JJ files|NNS were|VBD all|DT on|IN X|NNP _|NN E|NNP -|: were|VBD on|IN the|DT same|JJ -|: sorry|JJ ,|, different|JJ partitions|NNS of|IN the|DT same|JJ physical|JJ disk|NN .|. 
Physical|JJ disk|NN .|. 
Mmm|NNP .|. 
And|CC it|PRP 's|VBZ conceivable|JJ I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, I|PRP -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB -|: I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, so|RB um|NN ,|, I|PRP was|VBD told|VBN that|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ possible|JJ that|IN that|DT might|MD have|VB ,|, uh|UH ,|, caused|VBD additional|JJ wear|NN on|IN it|PRP .|. Maybe|RB caused|VBN it|PRP to|TO -|: to|TO go|VB bad|JJ sooner|RBR .|. 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP think|VBP there|EX was|VBD something|NN else|RB going|VBG on|IN ,|, because|IN uh|UH Dave|NNP Johnson|NNP said|VBD that|IN D|NNP _|NN D|NNP was|VBD getting|VBG accessed|JJ frequently|RB .|. And|CC it|PRP should|MD n't|RB be|VB .|. 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
Oh|UH .|. Uh-huh|NNP .|. 
Right|RB ?|. That|DT data|NNS never|RB gets|VBZ touched|VBN ,|, because|IN we|PRP write|VBP it|PRP once|RB and|CC then|RB we|PRP never|RB touch|VBP it|PRP again|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, why|WRB not|RB ?|. 
Oh|UH sure|JJ it|PRP does|VBZ .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, after|IN each|DT meeting|NN we|PRP copy|VBP the|DT data|NNS to|TO -|: 
Except|IN that|DT -|: 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, so|IN the|DT wavefiles|NNS ,|, or|CC -|: or|CC anything|NN at|IN all|DT ,|, because|IN the|DT transcripts|NNS are|VBP there|RB as|RB well|RB .|. 
The|DT wave|NN files|NNS .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, he|PRP was|VBD saying|VBG gigabytes|NNS .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, gigabytes|NNS .|. I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
And|CC so|RB ,|, it|PRP has|VBZ to|TO be|VB the|DT wave|NN files|NNS .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, there|EX was|VBD something|NN weird|JJ about|IN that|DT .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ right|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, so|IN I|PRP asked|VBD Dave|NNP about|IN it|PRP and|CC he|PRP has|VBZ n't|RB looked|VBN into|IN it|PRP yet|RB ,|, but|CC we|PRP should|MD definitely|RB double|VB check|NN on|IN it|PRP .|. 
Yeah|UH like|IN -|: like|IN the|DT same|JJ 
meeting|NN -|: shortened|VBN ,|, files|NNS that|IN we|PRP pull|VBP off|RP of|IN Popcorn|NNP when|WRB we|PRP 're|VBP done|VBN doing|VBG the|DT recording|NN ,|, 
Yeah|UH .|. 
looked|VBD ,|, 
to|TO the|DT backup|NN software|NN ,|, as|IN if|IN they|PRP had|VBD been|VBN written|VBN ,|, 
you|PRP know|VBP ,|, every|DT single|JJ night|NN ,|, 
Every|DT night|NN .|. 
Is|VBZ that|DT right|JJ .|. 
i-|NN for|IN -|: f-|NN you|PRP know|VBP ,|, a|DT week|NN in|IN a|DT row|NN ,|, which|WDT is|VBZ really|RB weird|JJ .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ very|RB strange|JJ .|. I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB realize|VB that|DT .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
Wow|UH .|. 
So|RB at|IN any|DT rate|NN ,|, so|RB for|IN file|NN reorganization|NN we|PRP need|VBP to|TO first|JJ decide|VB what|WP we|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG do|VBG and|CC then|RB when|WRB we|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG do|VBG it|PRP .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
So|IN I|PRP 'm|VBP not|RB sure|JJ who|WP is|VBZ n't|RB involved|VBN with|IN that|DT .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, certainly|RB me|PRP ,|, Chuck|NNP and|CC Jane|NNP .|. Anyone|NN else|RB care|NN ?|. 


And|CC I|PRP -|: and|CC I|PRP 'd|NNP like|VB ,|, in|IN terms|NNS of|IN the|DT conventions|NNS ,|, to|TO also|RB ,|, uh|UH ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, s-|NN send|VBP a|DT bit|NN to|TO Dan|NNP Ellis|NNP to|TO see|VB if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: if|IN there|EX 's|VBZ any|DT -|: get|VB his|PRP$ input|NN on|IN it|PRP .|. I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB think|VB -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB think|VB that|WDT 'll|MD be|VB -|: Yeah|UH .|. 
No.|NN 
Right|RB .|. 

So|RB ,|, maybe|RB we|PRP should|MD do|VB that|DT 
Yeah|UH .|. 
not|RB during|IN this|DT meeting|NN but|CC s-|NN another|DT time|NN ,|, and|CC just|RB get|VB a|DT list|NN of|IN everything|NN we|PRP 're|VBP gonna|VBG do|VBG .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Maybe|RB n-|NN next|JJ week|NN if|IN we|PRP could|MD .|. I|PRP 'm|VBP trying|VBG to|TO finish|VB up|RP some|DT stuff|NN .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH sure|JJ .|. I|PRP 'd|MD like|VB to|TO -|: 
So|RB just|RB update|VB all|PDT the|DT naming|VBG conventions|NNS and|CC 
put|VB all|PDT the|DT files|NNS where|WRB they|PRP really|RB belong|VBP ,|, on|IN one|CD disk|NN ,|, 
That|DT sounds|VBZ like|IN a|DT good|JJ idea|NN .|. 
and|CC then|RB leave|VB -|: leave|VB everything|NN in|IN place|NN until|IN the|DT back-up|NN -|: until|IN the|DT next|JJ full|JJ back-up|NN and|CC then|RB delete|VB the|DT old|JJ ones|NNS .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
O_K|JJ ,|, now|RB -|: and|CC you|PRP 're|VBP just|RB -|: you|PRP 're|VBP not|RB talking|VBG about|IN the|DT s-|NN the|DT X|NNP _|NN disks|NNS -|: the|DT X|NNP _|NN uh|UH partitions|NNS ,|, just|RB the|DT backed|VBN up|RP space|NN ,|, or|CC -|: ?|. 
So|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|, both|DT need|VBP to|TO be|VB reorganized|VBN .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
So|RB um|NN ,|, 

various|JJ paths|NNS ,|, th-|NN I|PRP mean|VBP this|DT is|VBZ why|WRB we|PRP have|VBP to|TO do|VB it|PRP in|IN a|DT synchronized|JJ way|NN ,|, because|IN um|NN 

I|PRP think|VBP we|PRP should|MD also|RB at|IN the|DT same|JJ time|NN try|NN to|TO ,|, uh|UH ,|, convert|VB over|IN to|TO your|PRP$ new|JJ naming|NN conventions|NNS .|. 
Yes|UH ,|, 
exactly|RB .|. That|DT too|RB .|. 
That|DT 'd|MD be|VB good|JJ .|. 
So|RB that|DT 's|VBZ what|WP I|PRP was|VBD saying|VBG .|. We|PRP need|VBP to|TO get|VB a|DT list|NN of|IN all|DT that|DT stuff|NN that|IN we|PRP wanna|VB do|VB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
And|CC so|RB 
I|PRP did|VBD n't|RB really|RB get|VB any|DT responses|NNS from|IN the|DT naming|VBG conventions|NNS that|IN I|PRP sent|VBD out|IN ,|, so|IN I|PRP assume|VBP that|DT 's|VBZ alright|NN with|IN everyone|NN .|. 
I|PRP actually|RB have|VBP n't|RB looked|VBN at|IN it|PRP yet|RB .|. I|PRP have|VBP n't|RB had|VBD a|DT chance|NN ,|, so|RB .|. 
No.|NN 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
I|PRP have|VBP n't|RB either|RB .|. Sorry|JJ .|. 
Oh|UH .|. 

And|CC -|: 
I|PRP will|MD by|IN next|JJ week|NN ,|, though|RB .|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB about|IN the|DT naming|NN ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Then|RB I|PRP should|MD have|VB made|VBN that|IN as|IN an|DT agenda|NN item|NN .|. 
Th-|NNP so|IN these|DT names|NNS that|IN we|PRP 've|VBP been|VBN using|VBG so|RB far|RB are|VBP with|IN uh|UH 
uh|UH 
uh|UH 
I|PRP would|MD n't|RB just|RB wanna|VB change|VB them|PRP 
you|PRP know|VBP ,|, without|IN some|DT advance|NN notice|NN .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, th-|NN that|WDT 's|VBZ all|PDT these|DT segment|NN names|NNS that|WDT we-|NN we|PRP 've|VBP been|VBN using|VBG .|. I|PRP would|MD rather|RB not|RB mess|VB with|IN them|PRP 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP -|: 
until|IN we|PRP have|VBP some|DT closure|NN on|IN some|DT of|IN the|DT things|NNS we|PRP are|VBP currently|RB 
Right|RB .|. 
dealing|VBG with|IN ,|, so|RB -|: 
Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, how|WRB you|PRP choose|VBP to|TO do|VB it|PRP -|: the|DT naming|NN is|VBZ up|IN to|TO you|PRP .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Well|RB ,|,

You|PRP 're|VBP talking|VBG about|IN different|JJ files|NNS .|. 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it|PRP should|MD probably|RB be|VB -|: eventually|RB should|MD probably|RB be|VB consistent|JJ with|IN what|WP you|PRP 're|VBP doing|VBG but|RB ,|, 
Yep|NNP .|. 
yeah|NN ,|, I|PRP kind|NN of|IN agree|VBP with|IN Andreas|NNP ,|, like|IN I|PRP 'm|VBP a|DT little|JJ bit|NN -|: 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, these|DT -|: 
I|PRP looked|VBD at|IN the|DT naming|VBG conventions|NNS and|CC they|PRP look|VBP fine|NN to|TO me|PRP ,|, but|CC at|IN the|DT same|JJ time|NN it|PRP was|VBD just|RB like|IN you|PRP know|VBP to|TO rename|VB everything|NN would|MD be|VB -|: 
Well|RB ,|, if|IN we|PRP -|: 
If|IN we|PRP change|VBP things|NNS ,|, it|PRP wo|MD n't|RB really|RB affect|VB what|WP you|PRP 're|VBP doing|VBG ,|, will|MD it|PRP ?|. 
This|DT -|: 
No|DT but|CC I|PRP think|VBP just|RB to|TO be|VB consistent|JJ we|PRP should|MD also|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, have|VBP the|DT same|JJ conventions|NNS ,|, just|RB in|IN case|NN you|PRP want|VBP -|: 
Right|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. So|IN you|PRP -|: but|CC you|PRP can|MD switch|VB that|IN any|DT time|NN you|PRP want|VBP ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Yeah|UH .|. Yeah|UH .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ only|RB gonna|VBG affect|VBG my|PRP$ work|NN .|. So|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ not|RB gonna|VBG -|VBG 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, if|IN we|PRP -|: 
I|PRP assume|VBP you|PRP 're|VBP not|RB gonna|VBG go|VBG ,|, like|IN ,|, into|IN ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, my|PRP$ directories|NNS and|CC change|VB my|PRP$ file|NN names|NNS .|. So|RB .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Everybody|NN will|MD use|VB it|PRP .|. Fine|NNP slash|VB U|NNP _|NN slash|NN star|NN .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
I|PRP -|: Actually|RB I|PRP was|VBD gonna|VBG do|VBG a|DT global|JJ search-replace|JJ on|IN all|DT entries|NNS at|IN -|: 




at|IN ICSI|NNP to|TO change|VB M|NNP _|NN R|NN to|TO M|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN M|NNP at|IN all|DT places|NNS at|IN ICSI|NNP .|. 

Yeah|UH ,|, that|WDT 'd|MD be|VB great|JJ .|. 

Really|RB enjoy|VB that|DT .|. 


With|IN no|DT -|: with|IN no|DT advance|NN warning|NN .|. 
Y-|NNP you|PRP -|: 


Well|RB ,|, maybe|RB I|PRP should|MD n't|RB say|VB that|IN on|IN re-|NN record|NN .|. 

O_K|JJ .|. 
There|EX was|VBD a|DT 
typo|NN in|IN some|DT of|IN the|DT contracts|NNS that|IN Morgan|NNP got|VBD that|DT someone|NN ,|, 

one|CD of|IN our|PRP$ sponsors|NNS ,|, did|VBD a|DT global|JJ sear-|NN search|NN and|CC replace|VB for|IN -|: between|IN "|'' sponsor|NN "|'' and|CC their|PRP$ name|NN .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Oh|UH no|DT ,|, oh|UH no|UH .|. 


And|CC so|RB ,|, it|PRP -|: it|PRP was|VBD saying|VBG ,|, uh|UH -|: 
Well|RB ,|, anyway|RB ,|, I|PRP wo|MD n't|RB -|: 
Yeah|UH ,|, one|CD -|: one|PRP can|MD imagine|VB that|IN that|DT might|MD be|VB problematic|JJ .|. 
I|PRP 'm|VBP not|RB sure|JJ whether|IN that|DT 's|VBZ right|JJ .|. 

Yeah|UH ,|, one|PRP can|MD imagine|VB the|DT problems|NNS that|IN that|DT would|MD engender|NN .|. 

But|CC this|DT -|: this|DT name|NN change|NN affects|VBZ a|DT subset|NN ,|, does|VBZ n't|RB need|VB to|TO reflect|VB everything|NN ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
So|RB .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Right|RB .|. 

Um|NNP ,|, 

Thilo|NNP ,|, you|PRP had|VBD -|: you|PRP wanted|VBD to|TO talk|VB about|IN the|DT -|: 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP had|VBD one|CD -|: one|CD short|JJ point|NN .|. I|PRP have|VBP just|RB installed|VBN a|DT Transcriber|NNP version|NN on|IN one|CD of|IN our|PRP$ N|NNP _|NN T|NN machines|NNS so|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ available|JJ under|IN Windows|NNP now|RB .|. 
Oh|UH great|JJ .|. Actually|RB someone|NN -|: I|PRP just|RB got|VBD an|DT email|NN this|DT week|NN from|IN someone|NN as-|NN

Yeah|UH I|PRP re-|NN responded|VBD to|TO sh-|NN I|PRP have|VBP already|RB responded|VBN to|TO him|PRP .|. I|PRP -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB what|WP -|: what|WP -|: what|WP he|PRP -|: what|WP the|DT problem|NN was|VBD .|. It|PRP was|VBD really|RB straightforward|JJ ,|, really|RB easy|JJ .|. 
To|TO Anant|NNP ?|. 
And|CC this|DT is|VBZ not|RB -|: Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, I|PRP 'm|VBP sorry|JJ ,|, I|PRP -|: I|PRP just|RB -|: So|RB ,|, who|WP did|VBD you|PRP talk|VBP to|TO ?|. 
There|EX was|VBD some|DT -|: some|DT guy|NN from|IN S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP who|WP wanted|VBD to|TO -|: to|TO install|VB -|: Yeah|UH .|. 
Anant|NNP ?|. 
Anant|NNP Venkataraman|NNP ?|. O_K|JJ .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
And|CC he|PRP sent|VBD an|DT email|NN that|IN he|PRP could|MD n't|RB -|: could|MD n't|RB install|VB it|PRP and|CC I|PRP -|: I|PRP just|RB described|VBD him|PRP ,|, well|RB ,|, what|WP I|PRP did|VBD and|CC it|PRP was|VBD really|RB straightforward|JJ ,|, so|RB .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, O_K|JJ .|. Great|NNP .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, O_K|JJ .|. 
Great|NNP .|. Great|NNP .|. Thanks|NNS .|. Thanks|NNS .|. 
And|CC this|DT is|VBZ not|RB just|RB the|DT Transcriber|NNP ,|, this|DT is|VBZ the|DT Channeltrans|NNP ,|, right|NN ?|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, it|PRP 's|VBZ the|DT Channeltrans|NNP ,|, so|IN the|DT -|: 
Yeah|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, excellent|JJ .|. 
the|DT 
Cool|VB .|. 
things|NNS that|IN Dave|NNP Gelbart|NNP -|: 
Excellent|NNP .|. 
So|IN you|PRP should|MD probably|RB talk|VB to|TO a|DT Sys|NNP Admin|NNP and|CC get|VB it|PRP put|VB in|IN some|DT central|JJ place|NN .|. 


So|RB that|IN it|PRP 'll|MD work|VB on|IN all|PDT the|DT N|NNP _|NN T|NN machines|NNS .|. 

Well|RB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, as|IN it|PRP stands|VBZ ,|, I|PRP -|: I|PRP guess|VBP -|: yeah|NN I|PRP see|VBP what|WP you|PRP mean|VBP .|. It|PRP 'll|MD -|: it|PRP 'll|MD be|VB on|IN the|DT -|: on|IN the|DT UNIX|NNP side|NN but|CC accessible|JJ through|IN the|DT H|NNP _|NN drive|NN .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
I|PRP 've|VBP -|: 
Right|RB .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. Yeah|UH .|. I|PRP could|MD do|VB that|DT .|. 
So|IN I|PRP assume|VBP Tcl-|NNP T|NN _|NN K|NNP was|VBD n't|RB already|RB on|IN the|DT machine|NN ,|, so|IN you|PRP had|VBD to|TO install|VB it|PRP .|. Yeah|UH .|. 

I|PRP had|VBD i-|NN to|TO install|VB it|PRP ,|, yeah|NN .|. 

Huh|NNP .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Uh|NNP 
So|RB Andreas|NNP ,|, would|MD it|PRP be|VB appropriate|JJ to|TO ask|VB how|WRB the|DT experiments|NNS are|VBP going|VBG ?|. 
Uh|NNP -|: 
Oh|UH ,|, well|RB ,|, yeah|NN I|PRP -|: I|PRP -|: I|PRP actually|RB was|VBD n't|RB sure|JJ whether|IN this|DT is|VBZ the|DT right|NN meeting|NN for|IN it|PRP ,|, because|IN it|PRP has|VBZ uh|UH very|RB little|JJ to|TO do|VB with|IN -|: with|IN meeting|NN recordings|NNS ,|, but|RB 
Hmm|NNP .|. 

you|PRP know|VBP ,|, I|PRP did|VBD uh|UH run|VB 
um|NN some|DT recognition|NN experiments|NNS with|IN ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ .|. 
Um|NNP 
Uh|NNP ,|, and|CC -|: and|CC you|PRP know|VBP ,|, this|DT is|VBZ the|DT j-|NN joint|JJ work|NN with|IN Chuck|NNP ,|, and|CC uh|UH ,|, 
um|NN .|. 
So|RB ,|, first|JJ ,|, 
uh|UH ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, we|PRP had|VBD -|: 
we|PRP figured|VBD out|IN sometime|RB last|JJ week|NN how|WRB to|TO 
um|NN -|: 
and|CC -|: and|CC Chuck|NNP wrote|VBD this|DT really|RB nice|JJ little|JJ

takes|VBZ a|DT uh|UH waveform|NN ,|, runs|VBZ the|DT feature|NN calculation|NN 
and|CC then|RB dumps|VBZ it|PRP out|IN into|IN the|DT -|: into|IN um|NN 
a|DT f-|NN c-|NN so-called|JJ 
uh|UH cepstra|NN file|NN ,|, which|WDT is|VBZ what|WP the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN uses|VBZ to|TO read|VB features|NNS .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ essentially|RB uh|UH 
uh|UH NIST|NNP headered|JJ 
uh|UH waveform|NN .|. You|PRP know|VBP ,|, it|PRP looks|VBZ like|IN a|DT waveform|NN except|IN instead|RB of|IN samples|NNS you|PRP have|VBP feature|NN vectors|NNS following|VBG the|DT header|NN .|. 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
And|CC um|NN that|WDT 's|VBZ all|DT done|JJ 
um|NN 
by|IN the|DT script|NN ,|, and|CC it|PRP works|VBZ great|JJ .|. And|CC 
uh|UH I|PRP first|RB trained|VBN up|RP two|CD 
systems|NNS ,|, because|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ gender-dep-|JJ you|PRP know|VBP ,|, the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN is|VBZ gender-dependent|JJ so|RB to|TO be|VB comparable|JJ ,|, I|PRP trained|VBN uh|UH um|NN on|IN a|DT sh-|NN on|IN a|DT so-called|JJ short|JJ training|NN set|VBN 
um|NN 
a|DT male|JJ system|NN and|CC a|DT female|JJ system|NN ,|, 
and|CC 
uh|UH also|RB for|IN debugging|VBG purposes|NNS ,|, and|CC for|IN the|DT heck|NN of|IN it|PRP ,|, I|PRP trained|VBN um|NN -|:

um|NN ,|, and|CC compared|VBD the|DT two|CD -|: 
So|RB ,|, w-|NN what|WP features|NNS did|VBD you|PRP use|VBP ?|. 
Well|RB ,|, we|PRP used|VBD ,|, uh|UH ,|, twelve|CD P|NN _|NN L|NNP _|NN P|NN uh|UH ,|, uh|UH -|: 
So|RB not|RB RASTA|NNP ,|, just|RB P|NN _|NN L|NNP _|NN P.|NN 
Just|RB P|NN _|NN L|NNP _|NN P.|NN 
Just|RB P|NN _|NN L|NNP _|NN P|NN and|CC actually|RB that|IN -|: uh|UH ,|, one|CD of|IN the|DT questions|NNS I|PRP had|VBD was|VBD what|WP the|DT RASTA|NNP would|MD possibly|RB buy|VB us|PRP .|. But|CC um|NN ,|, we|PRP 'll|MD 
talk|NN about|IN that|DT later|RB .|. So|RB ,|, the|DT uh|UH -|: so|IN the|DT baseline|NN system|NN -|: w-|NN the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN was|VBD -|: uh|UH used|VBN -|: uh|UH also|RB uh|UH uh|UH used|VBN t-|NN twelve|CD uh|UH mel|NN -|: uh|UH mel|NN cepstra|NN 
um|NN based|VBN on|IN a|DT twenty-four|JJ filter|NN bank|NN 
um|NN analysis|NN .|. 
Um|NNP 
I|PRP do|VBP not|RB 
know|VB what|WP -|: So|IN the|DT f-|NN the|DT bandwidth|NN of|IN the|DT um|NN 
S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP front-end|JJ is|VBZ from|IN hundreds|NNS hertz|NN to|TO th-|NN th-|NN thirty-se-|JJ thirty-seven|JJ fifty|NN or|CC something|NN like|IN that|DT .|. 
Thirty-seven|NNP fifty|NN .|. 
And|CC I|PRP do|VBP not|RB know|VB what|WP the|DT um|NN 
ICSI|NNP um|NN 
front-end|JJ would|MD do|VB .|. I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, what|WP the|DT bandwidth|NN is|VBZ .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, 

but|CC the|DT results|NNS are|VBP such|JJ that|IN uh|UH ,|, let|VB 's|POS see|VB -|: 
There|EX 's|VBZ one|CD other|JJ slight|JJ difference|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. Or|CC two|CD -|: two|CD differences|NNS .|. 
Oh|UH yeah|NN .|. So|IN the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN also|RB does|VBZ um|NN 
vocal|JJ tract|NN length|NN normalization|NN and|CC we|PRP could|MD n't|RB figure|VB out|IN how|WRB to|TO do|VB that|DT yet|RB with|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP features|NNS .|. So|RB that|DT 's|VBZ one|CD difference|NN .|. And|CC the|DT other|JJ difference|NN is|VBZ that|DT 
in|IN the|DT ,|, uh|UH -|: 

in|IN the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN ,|, 
the|DT uh|UH th-|NN the|DT first|JJ -|: the|DT C|NNP _|NN zero|CD ,|, the|DT energy|NN uh|UH feature|NN is|VBZ normalized|JJ slightly|RB differently|RB from|IN the|DT rest|NN .|. And|CC what|WP they|PRP do|VBP is|VBZ 
Huh|NNP .|. 
they|PRP d-|NN they|PRP subtract|VB the|DT maximum|NN -|: 
For|IN each|DT waveform|NN segment|NN 
they|PRP subtract|VB the|DT maximum|NN of|IN -|: of|IN th-|NN over|IN that|DT waveform|NN segment|NN from|IN 
from|IN the|DT values|NNS of|IN -|: for|IN that|DT waveform|NN .|. 
Which|WDT is|VBZ a|DT kind|NN of|IN automatic|JJ gain|NN control|NN ,|, that|WDT is|VBZ localized|VBN -|: 
Do|VBP they|PRP subtract|VB the|DT max|NN from|IN each|DT i-|NN one|CD or|CC do|VBP they|PRP subtract|VB each|DT one|CD from|IN the|DT max|NN ?|. 
Who|WP cares|VBZ ?|. 
They|PRP subtract|VB -|: 

Does|VBZ n't|RB matter|VB ?|. 
No|DT ,|, just|RB would|MD be|VB a|DT sign|NN change|NN .|. 
Except|IN you|PRP get|VBP a|DT lot|NN of|IN negatives|NNS the|DT other|JJ way|NN .|. 
Right|RB ,|, right|NN ,|, right|JJ .|. Um|NNP ,|, and|CC then|RB ,|, after|IN -|: But|CC after|IN they|PRP done|VBN this|DT waveform|NN based|VBD normalization|NN ,|, they|PRP then|RB do|VBP a|DT conversation|NN length|NN normalization|NN just|RB like|IN all|PDT the|DT other|JJ features|NNS .|. 
So|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ their|PRP$ kind|NN of|IN two|CD stage|NN normalization|NN .|. 
Oh|UH !|. 
Oh|UH !|. 
Um|NNP now|RB ,|, I|PRP understand|VBP that|IN the|DT common|JJ practice|NN here|RB has|VBZ been|VBN to|TO just|RB do|VBP c-|NN standard|JJ uh|UH mean|VB subtraction|NN ,|, um|NN on|IN the|DT waveform|NN .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
For|IN the|DT C|NNP _|NN zero|CD .|. 
Right|RB .|. But|CC in|IN what|WP we|PRP 've|VBP done|VBN so|RB far|RB ,|, because|IN we|PRP did|VBD n't|RB have|VB any|DT special|JJ provision|NN for|IN C|NNP _|NN zero|CD ,|, we|PRP just|RB treat|VBP it|PRP as|RB -|: as|IN any|DT of|IN the|DT other|JJ features|NNS ,|, we|PRP 've|VBP done|VBN standard|JJ mean|NN subtraction|NN over|IN the|DT whole|JJ 
conversation|NN side|NN .|. 
So|RB 
um|NN since|IN both|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP and|CC ICSI|NNP use|NN this|DT sort|NN of|IN local|JJ normalization|NN for|IN C|NNP _|NN zero|CD that|DT 's|VBZ presumably|RB ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, someone|NN has|VBZ done|VBN some|DT experiments|NNS to|TO -|: and|CC found|VBD out|RP that|IN that|DT works|VBZ better|JJR .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, so|IN that|DT 's|VBZ another|DT difference|NN ,|, and|CC that|DT might|MD account|VB for|IN some|DT of|IN the|DT 
discrepancies|NNS in|IN the|DT results|NNS .|. Um|NNP ,|, but|CC you|PRP know|VBP .|. So|IN the|DT 
the|DT results|NNS are|VBP 
um|NN 
Where|WRB should|MD I|PRP start|VB ?|. Uh|NNP 
the|DT -|: 
So|RB there|EX 's|VBZ a|DT two|CD -|: 
Oh|UH .|. I|PRP tried|VBD it|PRP with|IN and|CC without|IN .|. Uh|NNP .|. 
So|RB without|IN 
and|CC with|IN adaptation|NN .|. 
How|WRB many|JJ iterations|NNS ?|. 
For|IN the|DT adaptation|NN ?|. 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
Well|RB ,|, y-|NN we|PRP always|RB do|VBP three|CD E|NNP _|NN M|NNP iterations|NNS to|TO 
O_K|JJ .|. 
and|CC it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: it|PRP 's|VBZ this|DT -|: it|PRP 's|VBZ this|DT quick|JJ and|CC dirty|JJ -|: 
the|DT phone|NN loop|NN adaptation|NN which|WDT does|VBZ n't|RB actually|RB require|VB prior|RB recognition|NN paths|NNS and|CC -|: and|CC so|IN this|DT is|VBZ not|RB the|DT best|JJS you|PRP can|MD do|VB with|IN adaptation|NN ,|, but|CC it|PRP gives|VBZ you|PRP sort|NN of|IN a|DT first|JJ 
idea|NN of|IN what|WP you|PRP could|MD gain|VB with|IN it|PRP .|. 
And|CC then|RB ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, so|IN we|PRP have|VBP the|DT 
the|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP front-end|JJ 
and|CC the|DT ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ 
and|CC other|JJ than|IN that|IN the|DT system|NN configuration|NN was|VBD identical|JJ .|. So|IN it|PRP was|VBD the|DT same|JJ -|: 
They|PRP came|VBD up|RB with|IN um|NN 
you|PRP know|VBP ,|, same|JJ number|NN of|IN uh|UH Gaussians|NNP per|IN state|NN cluster|NN 
Um|NNP ,|, same|JJ -|: The|DT clustering|VBG used|VBD the|DT same|JJ information|NN loss|NN threshold|NN ,|, which|WDT actually|RB led|VBN to|TO roughly|RB the|DT same|JJ number|NN of|IN Gaussians|NNP overall|NN .|. So|RB that|IN the|DT system|NN configuration|NN is|VBZ -|: is|VBZ comparable|JJ .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, and|CC the|DT -|: 

Uh|NNP ,|, so|RB without|IN adaptation|NN ,|, 
you|PRP had|VBD forty-nine|JJ p-|NN 
That|DT 's|VBZ error|NN rate|NN or|CC recognition|NN rate|NN ?|. 
This|DT is|VBZ error|NN rate|NN 
in|IN percent|NN .|. 
And|CC 
with|IN adaptation|NN 
it|PRP 's|VBZ forty-seven|JJ point|NN one|CD 
and|CC 
this|DT -|: this|DT was|VBD fifty-two|JJ point|NN six|CD .|. 
and|CC 
fifty-one|JJ point|NN three|CD 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
and|CC then|RB ,|, when|WRB I|PRP combined|VBD them|PRP -|: I|PRP can|MD actually|RB combine|VB them|PRP with|IN 
something|NN like|IN ROVER|NNP .|. It|PRP 's|VBZ actually|RB more|RBR sophisticated|JJ than|IN ROVER|NNP but|CC it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: 
Um|NNP ,|, here|RB I|PRP got|VBD 
forty-eight|JJ point|NN five|CD 
and|CC here|RB I|PRP got|VBD forty-six|JJ point|NN five|CD .|. 
So|IN this|DT is|VBZ just|RB combination|NN at|IN the|DT utterance|NN level|NN .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
At|IN the|DT utterance|NN level|NN ,|, right|JJ .|. 
Why|WRB do|VBP you|PRP think|VBP the|DT ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ is|VBZ so|RB much|RB worse|JJR ?|. 
Good|JJ question|NN .|. That|DT 's|VBZ fine|NN .|. 
That|DT seems|VBZ really|RB odd|JJ to|TO me|PRP .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, so|RB ,|, one|CD percent|NN I|PRP would|MD attribute|VB to|TO the|DT lack|NN of|IN V|NNP _|NN T|NN _|NN L|NNP ,|, about|IN one|CD percent|NN .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
Oh|UH right|JJ .|. Right|RB ,|, right|NN ,|, right|JJ .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. Ah|UH O_K|JJ .|. 
And|CC then|RB maybe|RB another|DT up|RP -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB how|WRB much|JJ the|DT C|NNP _|NN zero|CD normalization|NN business|NN really|RB matters|VBZ I|PRP ca|MD n't|RB it|PRP see|VB ,|, I|PRP mean|VBP ca|MD n't|RB see|VB it|PRP -|: the|DT

I|PRP could|MD .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
I|PRP could|MD certainly|RB do|VB that|DT .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
We|PRP could|MD also|RB do|VB the|DT vocal|JJ tract|NN length|NN normalization|NN with|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP features|NNS .|. That|DT 's|VBZ something|NN we|PRP wanted|VBD to|TO do|VB -|: yeah|NN .|.

Yeah|UH .|. 
If|IN we|PRP could|MD figure|VB out|IN how|WRB .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
and|CC just|RB try|VB them|PRP with|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP

They|PRP wo|MD n't|RB -|: 
they|PRP do|VBP n't|RB correspond|VB one-to-|JJ one|CD though|IN .|.

u-|NN had|VBD a|DT fair|JJ amount|NN of|IN experimentation|NN going|VBG into|IN it|PRP .|. You|PRP know|VBP ,|, how|WRB many|JJ 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
filter|NN banks|NNS do|VBP you|PRP use|VBP ,|, what|WP -|: what|WP bandwidth|NN do|VBP you|PRP use|VBP ,|, and|CC stuff|NN like|IN that|DT .|. And|CC uh|UH we|PRP could|MD play|VB the|DT same|JJ kind|NN of|IN games|NNS with|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Uh|NNP ,|, actually|RB ,|, the|DT analysis|NN bandwidth|NN played|VBD a|DT very|RB crucial|JJ role|NN .|. We|PRP used|VBD to|TO use|VB a|DT narrow|JJ bandwidth|NN and|CC 
uh|UH 
uh|UH that|WDT hurt|VBD us|PRP .|. So|IN this|DT is|VBZ ,|, um|NN -|: And|CC this|DT is|VBZ -|: We|PRP 've|VBP now|RB used|VBN roughly|RB what|WP everybody|NN else|RB is|VBZ using|VBG .|. So|RB 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
um|NN ,|, there|EX 's|VBZ some|DT room|NN for|IN improvements|NNS ,|, I|PRP figure|VBP ,|, in|IN this|DT -|: in|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
So|RB .|. 
But|CC the|DT good|JJ news|NN is|VBZ that|IN even|RB with|IN this|DT -|: with|IN the|DT ICSI|NNP system|NN being|VBG that|IN much|RB worse|JJR ,|, you|PRP still|RB get|VBP a|DT win|NN out|IN of|IN combining|VBG the|DT two|CD .|. 
So|RB that|WDT gives|VBZ some|DT hope|VBP for|IN the|DT future|NN .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Unfortunately|RB however|RB this|DT seems|VBZ to|TO be|VB reduced|VBN with|IN adaptation|NN ,|, so|RB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
Also|RB interestingly|RB 
the|DT -|: 
Um|NNP ,|, the|DT difference|NN actually|RB widens|VBZ .|. I|PRP would|MD actually|RB expect|VB it|PRP or|CC -|: or|CC hope|VBP that|IN the|DT adaptation|NN reduces|VBZ the|DT difference|NN because|IN it|PRP might|MD 
um|NN ,|, for|IN instance|NN ,|, 
um|NN 
remove|VB some|DT of|IN the|DT um|NN -|: 

You|PRP know|VBP ,|, som-|NN If|IN you|PRP -|: if|IN you|PRP have|VBP some|DT -|: some|DT difference|NN in|IN the|DT front-end|JJ processing|NN that|DT 
uh|UH is|VBZ suboptimal|NN ,|, but|CC can|MD be|VB possibly|RB remedied|VBN by|IN you|PRP know|VBP moving|VBG the|DT 
um|NN 
moving|VBG the|DT models|NNS around|IN .|. But|CC -|: but|CC apparently|RB that|WDT does|VBZ n't|RB -|: 
does|VBZ n't|RB really|RB -|: actually|RB the|DT difference|NN becomes|VBZ larger|JJR ,|, so|RB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. Anyway|RB .|. So|RB right|RB now|RB what|WP I|PRP 'm|VBP doing|VBG is|VBZ um|NN -|: 
Uh|NNP well|RB ,|, there|EX 's|VBZ several|JJ things|NNS going|VBG on|IN .|. One|CD is|VBZ that|IN Chuck|NNP is|VBZ working|VBG on|IN uh|UH getting|VBG the|DT tandem|JJ features|NNS um|NN into|IN a|DT form|NN that|IN we|PRP can|MD train|VB the|DT tandem|JJ -|: the|DT system|NN on|IN the|DT tandem|JJ features|NNS .|. So|RB that|WDT would|MD actually|RB be|VB the|DT 
more|RBR interesting|JJ experiment|NN .|. 
Um|NNP ,|, the|DT other|JJ thing|NN is|VBZ I|PRP 'm|VBP training|NN 
uh|UH retraining|VBG the|DT models|NNS on|IN the|DT large|JJ training|NN set|VBN that|IN we|PRP usually|RB use|VBP to|TO build|VB our|PRP$ evaluation|NN models|NNS and|CC then|RB we|PRP can|MD -|: 
Right|RB .|. 
And|CC I|PRP actually|RB want|VBP to|TO 
do|VBP the|DT system|NN combination|NN 
um|NN with|IN our|PRP$ eval|NN system|NN um|NN ,|, on|IN some|DT subset|NN of|IN the|DT data|NNS at|IN least|JJS ,|, probably|RB only|RB for|IN the|DT males|NNS ,|, because|IN I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB have|VB time|NN to|TO train|VB both|DT males|NNS and|CC females|NNS ,|, but|CC um|NN .|. 
Uh|NNP and|CC um|NN -|: 
What|WP about|IN ta-|NN 
concatenating|VBG the|DT two|CD feature|NN vectors|NNS into|IN a|DT single|JJ one|CD ?|. 
It|PRP gets|VBZ pretty|RB big|JJ .|. 

It|PRP does|VBZ get|VB pretty|RB big|JJ .|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
And|CC m-|NN my|PRP$ experience|NN with|IN that|DT in|IN Broadcast|NNP News|NNP was|VBD usually|RB combining|VBG at|IN other|JJ levels|NNS works|VBZ better|JJR .|. 
Hmm|NNP .|. 
So|RB .|. 
For|IN -|: for|IN whatever|WDT that|DT 's|VBZ worth|NN .|. 
Oh|UH ,|, you|PRP tried|VBD that|IN on|IN Broadcast|NNP News|NNP ?|. Concatenating|NNP 
Oh|UH yeah|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. 
So|RB w-|NN Yep|NNP .|. 
different|JJ feature|NN sets|NNS ?|. Yeah|UH .|. 
Did|VBD you|PRP try|VBP uh|UH -|: 
It|PRP was|VBD mostly|RB M|NNP _|NN S|NNP _|NN G|NNP ,|, P|NN _|NN L|NNP _|NN P|NN ,|, RASTA|NNP .|. 
I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
So|RB ,|, you|PRP know|VBP ,|, the|DT feature|NN sets|NNS we|PRP had|VBD available|JJ .|. And|CC it|PRP was|VBD almost|RB always|RB better|JJR to|TO combine|VB at|IN the|DT probability|NN level|NN .|. You|PRP know|VBP ,|, so|IN we|PRP 'd|MD run|VB the|DT neural|NN nets|NNS and|CC combine|VB the|DT probabilities|NNS .|. 
I|PRP see|VBP .|. 
O_K|JJ .|. 
Alright|NNP .|. 
Oh|UH .|. 
Yeah|UH ,|, and|CC it|PRP does|VBZ become|VB sort|NN of|IN unwieldy|JJ to|TO have|VB these|DT very|RB large|JJ feature|NN vectors|NNS .|. And|CC that|DT would|MD 
Yep|NNP .|. 
blow|NN up|RP the|DT 
You|PRP 'd|MD also|RB have|VB to|TO do|VB some|DT sort|NN of|IN normalization|NN afterwards|RB 
uh|UH -|: 
so|IN that|IN they|PRP 're|VBP uh|UH orthogonal|NN .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
So|IN you|PRP 'd|MD wanna|VB do|VB a|DT linear|JJ transform|VB also|RB .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Um|NNP 
so|RB 
the|DT -|: Yeah|UH ,|, and|CC then|RB we|PRP could|MD start|VB experimenting|VBG a|DT little|JJ bit|NN to|TO try|VB to|TO get|VB the|DT ICSI|NNP front-end|JJ to|TO perform|VB better|JJR .|. 
Um|NNP .|. And|CC -|: and|CC as|IN a|DT preliminary|JJ just|RB sort|NN of|IN diagnostic|JJ experiment|NN we|PRP can|MD -|: I|PRP can|MD certainly|RB run|VB a|DT S|NNP _|NN R|NN _|NN I|PRP system|NN without|IN V|NNP _|NN T|NN _|NN L|NNP 
Yep|NNP .|. 
just|RB uh|UH to|TO get|VB -|: 
Wi-|NNP without|IN what|WP ?|. Without|IN V|NNP _|NN T|NN _|NN L.|NN O_K|JJ .|. 
Just|RB -|: 
Vocal|NNP tract|NN thing|NN ,|, yeah|NN .|. 
Wh-|NNP Yeah|UH .|. 
And|CC that|IN -|: that|DT 's|VBZ quick|JJ to|TO do|VB .|. 
So|RB .|. 
I|PRP was|VBD thinking|VBG about|IN 
tandem|JJ system|NN -|: Well|RB ,|, let|VB 's|POS not|RB talk|VB about|IN it|PRP here|RB ,|, but|CC I|PRP had|VBD some|DT thoughts|NNS about|IN the|DT tandem|JJ system|NN .|. 

yeah|NN so|RB but|CC things|NNS are|VBP moving|VBG ahead|RB ,|, so|RB 
O_K|JJ ,|, should|MD we|PRP do|VB digits|NNS ?|. 
Digits|NNP .|. Sure|RB .|. 
Do|VBP we|PRP have|VB any|DT other|JJ topics|NNS ?|. 
O_K|JJ ,|, let|VB 's|POS do|VBP them|PRP one|CD at|IN a|DT time|NN instead|RB of|IN simultaneous|JJ since|IN we|PRP actually|RB have|VBP time|NN .|. 
Poetic|NNP reading|NN of|IN digits|NNS .|.

Sorry|JJ ,|, start|VB over|IN .|. 
one|CD eight|CD one|CD four|CD two|CD eight|CD two|CD four|CD five|CD four|CD 
You|PRP can|MD really|RB tell|VB from|IN the|DT prosody|NN where|WRB it|PRP goes|VBZ .|. 
s-|NN meeting|NN .|. I|PRP actually|RB have|VBP one|CD more|JJR thing|NN that|IN -|: I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ -|: i-|NN if|IN -|: if|IN it|PRP 's|VBZ allowed|VBN to|TO -|: to|TO bring|VB up|RP after|IN the|DT dis-|NN 
After|IN digits|NNS ,|, I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. 
Anyway|RB .|. 
But|CC it|PRP might|MD be|VB important|JJ .|. For|IN um|NN -|: So|RB Liz|NNP remarked|VBD that|IN she|PRP had|VBD recorded|VBN a|DT meeting|NN where|WRB 
Go|VB ahead|RB .|. 
it|PRP was|VBD later|RB found|VBN that|IN several|JJ of|IN the|DT 
s-|NN microphones|NNS were|VBD turned|VBN off|IN ,|, um|NN 
Mm-hmm|NNP .|. 
and|CC this|DT must|MD become|VB a|DT problem|NN especially|RB with|IN non-speech-meetings|JJ .|. 
So|RB um|NN 
is|VBZ there|EX a|DT way|NN that|IN the|DT software|NN could|MD warn|VB you|PRP if|IN it|PRP gets|VBZ zeros|NNS from|IN 
some|DT of|IN the|DT channels|NNS ,|, or|CC -|: ?|. 
Probably|RB .|. We|PRP could|MD probably|RB build|VB that|IN in|IN to|TO the|DT front-end|JJ .|. 
Because|IN it|PRP -|: you|PRP know|VBP it|PRP 's|VBZ really|RB annoying|JJ if|IN you|PRP go|VBP through|IN all|DT that|DT trouble|NN and|CC then|RB basically|RB the|DT meetings|NNS are|VBP n't|RB useable|JJ because|IN uh|UH even|RB -|: 
What|WP are|VBP people|NNS doing|VBG ,|, they|PRP 're|VBP switching|VBG their|PRP$ mikes|NNS off|IN or|CC something|NN ?|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB what|WP they|PRP do|VBP .|. Maybe|RB the|DT batteries|NNS went|VBD dead|JJ ,|, or|CC th-|NN they|PRP just|RB did|VBD n't|RB -|: they|PRP played|VBD with|IN the|DT thing|NN and|CC it|PRP did|VBD n't|RB leave|VB it|PRP in|IN the|DT "|'' on|IN "|'' position|NN or|CC whatever|WDT .|. 
I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB ,|, uh|UH eh|NN .|. Fff|NNP .|. 
What|WP would|MD you|PRP like|VBP it|PRP to|TO do|VB when|WRB that|DT happens|VBZ ?|. 
Well|RB ,|, no|DT ,|, if|IN -|: if|IN you|PRP um|NN -|: I|PRP mean|VBP obviously|RB you|PRP always|RB -|: 
I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, there|EX 's|VBZ never|RB gonna|VBG be|VBG a|DT signal|NN from|IN all|PDT the|DT channels|NNS ,|, right|NN ?|. because|IN -|: or|CC rarely|RB .|. 
Um|NNP .|. 
But|CC uh|UH .|. 
Well|RB if|IN an|DT unblacked|JJ out|IN channel|NN is|VBZ zero|CD ,|, is|VBZ actually|RB spitting|NN out|RP zeros|NNS ,|, you|PRP can|MD be|VB pretty|RB sure|JJ it|PRP 's|VBZ off|RP .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Because|IN it|PRP does|VBZ n't|RB spit|NN out|RP zeros|NNS ,|, it|PRP spits|NNS out|RP epsilons|NNS .|. 
Right|RB ?|. Cuz|NNP there|EX 's|VBZ little|JJ background|NN noise|NN .|. The|DT question|NN is|VBZ ,|, when|WRB the|DT software|NN detects|NNS it|PRP ,|, what|WP do|VBP you|PRP want|VBP it|PRP to|TO do|VB ?|. 
Exactly|RB .|. 
That|DT 's|VBZ a|DT good|JJ question|NN .|. I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB .|. But|CC is|VBZ there|EX some|DT -|: We|PRP can|MD collectively|RB think|VB of|IN some|DT -|: of|IN some|DT mechanism|NN that|WDT might|MD reduce|VB the|DT risk|NN of|IN -|: of|IN just|RB -|: 

I|PRP mean|VBP ,|, it|PRP -|: it|PRP -|: it|PRP -|: 
We|PRP -|: we|PRP already|RB have|VBP visual|JJ feedback|NN ,|, right|NN ?|. You|PRP can|MD see|VB whether|IN your|PRP$ mike|NN is|VBZ working|VBG or|CC not|RB .|. Um|NNP .|. 
Right|RB .|. 
Right|RB .|. So|RB maybe|RB it|PRP 's|VBZ just|RB to|TO admonish|NN people|NNS to|TO actually|RB look|VB at|IN the|DT screen|NN at|IN the|DT beginning|NN of|IN the|DT meeting|NN to|TO make|VB sure|JJ they|PRP get|VBP a|DT signal|NN .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. 
Test|NNP -|: 
Turn|NN off|IN the|DT screen|NN saver|NN during|IN the|DT meeting|NN .|. 
Tell|VB them|PRP to|TO test|VB their|PRP$ mikes|NNS ,|, or|CC -|: 
Yeah|UH ,|, something|NN .|. 
I|PRP think|VBP they|PRP sh-|NN 
Yeah|UH ,|, I|PRP d-|NN I|PRP do|VBP n't|RB know|VB what|WP to|TO do|VB other|JJ than|IN -|: 
It|PRP -|: it|PRP can|MD beep|NN if|IN one|CD of|IN the|DT channels|NNS dies|VBZ while|IN recording|NN .|. 
There|EX 's|VBZ no|DT sound|NN out|IN right|RB now|RB .|. 
Oh|UH .|. 

Never|RB mind|NN .|. 
It|PRP should|MD give|VB the|DT electric|JJ shock|NN to|TO the|DT person|NN recording|VBG the|DT meeting|NN .|. 
Yep|NNP .|. Yep|NNP .|. Yeah|UH yeah|NN .|. That|DT would|MD be|VB good|JJ .|. Well|RB ,|, we|PRP can|MD think|VB about|IN what|WP to|TO do|VB about|IN it|PRP ,|, but|CC it|PRP -|: 
Oh|UH yeah|NN .|. That|DT 's|VBZ a|DT good|JJ one|CD .|. 
Wow|UH ,|, that|DT 's|VBZ not|RB a|DT bad|JJ idea|NN .|. 
Yeah|UH .|. O_K|JJ .|. 
It|PRP 's|VBZ pretty|RB clear|JJ we|PRP can|MD detect|VB it|PRP ,|, so|RB .|.
