The final version of the audio guide
1At ten on Monday, the editor opened an audio file sent by a student team. The team had removed a repeated sentence before sending the file. However, the editor heard a pause where the sentence had been. She asked the team to check whether the pause was intentional.
2When the editor called, the team had not checked the transitions between the remaining sentences. They had listened to individual sentences, but they had not played the complete recording. Removing a repeated sentence had solved one problem without guaranteeing a smooth connection.
3That afternoon, the team listened to the whole file and shortened the pause. They sent a revised version after checking it from beginning to end. Their report distinguished the earlier deletion from the later transition check; saying that both had been completed before the first submission would misrepresent the sequence.
