[cma-l] Studio output monitoring - speech recognition

Tue Jun 7 13:35:55 BST 2016

Several of our shows are in what can only be called "Broad Doric" - I think that it'll be a while before software can handle that - humans have enough difficulty!! If OfCom ever ask for a recording, we'll probably have to provide a translator....!!

A guy in Espionage won’t call you a beautiful woman. He’ll check you out, order you a Jägerbomb, and call you a “bonnie haddie.”
Yes, haddie. As in haddock. As in the fish that goes in a fish supper. Classic loon.

A Dons fan won’t be mortally embarrassed if Aberdeen lose to Buckie Thistle, but he will be “black affrontit.”
Can’t blame him.

When you know you know someone, but you just can’t put your finger on where you know them from, there’s only one thing worth saying: “A ken a ken im, but a da ken far a ken im fae.”
Ken?

The bonnie haddies in the Priory haven’t slapped on too much make-up. They’ve absolutely “clarted” it on.
But what’s a quine to do when she’d otherwise be described as having the following?
A face like a weet dish-cloot
A face like a skelpit airse
A face that wid soor milk

A quine doing the ‘walk of shame’ down Union Street at 11am on a Sunday isn’t an unkempt person. She’s a “hallyrackit craiter.”
What a girl!

Your pal isn’t asking you for a piece of chuddy halfway up Bennachie when she says, “Hing on a minty.”
She’s saying, “Wait for me!”

Hanging out in Schuh on a Saturday afternoon, you won’t hear anyone say, “Which foot fits which foot?”
But you will hear “Fit fit fits fit fit?”

After getting “drookit” (drenched) in the rain on what was meant to be a nice day out to Dunnottar Castle, you don’t exclaim that you’re totally knackered.
You say, “Am fair forfechan!”

After a heavy sesh at Aberdeen Sports Village, you don’t have sweaty armpits.
You “ave minky oxters.”

and so on.... :-)
