Test spoken product numbers for intelligibility

Test spoken product numbers for intelligibility: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Choose numbers that are easy to confuse in the session's languages.
  2. Record them with their units and product context through the broadcast path.
  3. Ask a listener to write what they hear before showing the source text.

Worked example

Test contrasting measurements such as fifteen and fifty using clearly labelled rehearsal values. If listeners confuse them, rewrite the spoken phrase or add a deliberate pause around the measurement. Confirm the corrected line before replacing the approved production answer.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
