Expressed certainty vs assessment result

none yet certainty 1
none yet certainty 2
none yet certainty 3

100% certainty 5

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Nikki Locker on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Assertion Supported
