Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 1 voices separated from the audio. 1 short machine repair(s) (1 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 95.5% of 466 content words. Dotted words (5 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 10 passages (23% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

both the north and the south ends of the county. Back in the day that if an African American went to a Caucasian funeral home, most times they would be turned down. And if they would pick the case up or the remains up, they would bring it to us. Well, the African American community has a long tradition of how we handle our dead. And most of the people that Richard E. buried were his friends and neighbors. And so it was quite a feat for him not only to handle them as a business person, but also because he knew them personally. And he wanted to make sure that everything was absolutely perfect.
