Claim 23:
24. A method for scripted audio production, the method comprising:
electronically receiving a manuscript;
electronically storing the manuscript; and
for each portion of a plurality of portions of recorded audio of speech generated from reading of the manuscript by a narrator:
electronically determining to which particular portion of the manuscript the portion of recorded audio corresponds;
determining whether a discrepancy exists between the portion of the manuscript and the portion of the recorded audio based on the determination of to which portion of the manuscript the portion of recorded audio corresponds, wherein the determining whether the discrepancy exists between the portion of the manuscript and the portion of the recorded audio includes performing reverse normalization of the manuscript and the recorded audio, wherein the performing reverse normalization includes:
performing text normalization by selecting a single most likely normalization of text for one or more sentences in the portion of the manuscript and producing normalized text based on the selected single most likely normalization;
running a proofing process against the normalized text and the and the portion of the recorded audio;
looking at all places where the proofing process reported an error and in which the error was in a place where text normalization had been applied; and
selecting a single most likely representation of the portion of the recorded audio based on a logit probability distribution that is a result of a Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC)-trained model used for alignment of text of the manuscript.
