Checking recognition support…

Scores are saved only on this device. Audio is not stored.

Recognition may use the browser provider's servers and require internet. We use the default microphone.

This is agreement with recognized text. Missing words can be recognition errors; the score does not assess individual speech sounds.

How is the score calculated?

Exact words get full credit; similar words get partial credit. Missing, replaced and extra words lower the score. Excellent requires all words in the right order. The 60/80% thresholds are experimental.

A television shows a nature documentary scene.

The documentary combines archive footage with commentary, so it is useful to distinguish the source material from the author's interpretation.

Dokument łączy archiwalne nagrania z komentarzem, dlatego warto odróżnić materiał źródłowy od interpretacji autora.

That pause may indicate reflection rather than evasion; before calling it telling, let us consider what meaning it takes from the question left off screen.

Ta pauza może świadczyć o namyśle, nie o unikaniu odpowiedzi; zanim nazwiemy ją wymowną, sprawdźmy, jaki sens nadaje jej pytanie pozostawione poza kadrem.

Shortening the question may quicken the scene, but the retained answer must still address what the interviewee was actually asked, rather than a question created in the edit.

Skrócenie pytania może przyspieszyć scenę, lecz pozostawiona odpowiedź musi nadal odnosić się do tego, o co rozmówcę rzeczywiście zapytano, a nie do pytania stworzonego w montażu.

In his account, “we” means the siblings, not an entire generation; widening that pronoun in the commentary would turn a personal memory into collective testimony.

W jego wypowiedzi „my” oznacza rodzeństwo, nie całe pokolenie; rozszerzając ten zaimek w komentarzu, nadawalibyśmy osobistemu wspomnieniu rangę zbiorowego świadectwa.

An anonymous interviewee should not become an anonymous instrument of our thesis; even without a name, we can retain the passages where they disagree with the narrative we have adopted.

Anonimowy rozmówca nie powinien stawać się anonimową funkcją naszej tezy; nawet bez nazwiska możemy zachować te fragmenty, w których nie zgadza się z przyjętą linią opowieści.

The order in which events are recalled is not their chronology; if the edit aims to reconstruct what happened, we cannot treat the first scene recounted as where it all began.

Kolejność wspominania zdarzeń nie jest ich chronologią; jeśli montaż ma odtworzyć przebieg wydarzeń, nie możemy traktować pierwszej opowiedzianej sceny jako tej, od której wszystko się zaczęło.
