Hey everyone, I started us off with some edits adding citations to the page, and it seems like we could use a few more in the spots tagged with citation needed. I also wanted to rename "Typical voice problems section" to "Use in Medicine" and move after the "Analysis Methods" section, if this seems like a good idea.

Hi everybody! I've added the Use in forensics section, which is probably the one I find the most problematic. I'll be looking for new sources to update it with (as one of the sources is a reference to a list of sources) and rewriting it so as to remove plagiarism (there is some heavy plagiarism of the LiveScience article that was sourced in here, only changing a word or two from the original).

I think that "Use in Medicine" is a more apt name for the section. The move makes more sense to me as well. JuliaGu516 (talk) 23:53, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Feedback: April 7
Great start, folks! Some comments:
 * I think some citations and checks on facts/neutrality could be made on this sentence: "This voice analysis technique gained much notoriety for its use in the Trayvon Martin case, where a recording of a call made to the police was analyzed to determine if background screams came from George Zimmerman or from Martin." The words "notoriety", "Trayvon Martin case", "call to the police" all seem to require some more examination or revision.
 * Speaker identification: should this section be in this article, or does it belong with Speaker recognition?
 * In the "Forensic Voice" section, this claim caught my eye: " Anyone working with voice will be able to analyse the characteristics of a voice". "Anyone" can do this?

These comments should give you some ideas about what to continue working on. Bear in mind that your contributions to the article don't have to be a lot in terms of quantity to satisfy our course objectives. So, while you're welcome to add whole new sections, balance your time and interest in adding to this article with your other commitments, and remember that the most heavily-weighted portion of our WikiEd project will be the reflection assignment in Week 14. Take a look at the questions there to better understand what you will need to respond to, and as you work on this article, keep track of the edits you make and why you make them so that you can respond to that assignment.

Also, keep leaving those great summary notes to ensure that everyone knows what changes! When the time comes to move to the mainspace, the edit summaries will help remind you of what the comments you need to leave on the mainspace, too.

And lastly, set a watch on this page so that you are aware of any comments that come in! Let me know if you have any questions! Cakers01 (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Just edited the Forensic Voice section by adding information to the last paragraph about the role of an forensic voice analysis expert in the courtroom. I also deleted the part saying "Anyone working with voice will be able to analyse the characteristics of a voice, for example accents and dialects, any voice disguise, stress in speech, tones of voice, multiple speakers, and voice affected by intoxication, fatigue, and bad health," because it was not cited and didn't really seem helpful.

Update: I also added two sources to the section about inverse filtering in 'Analysis Methods'. Devinnatishyn (talk) 22:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi everyone! I've rewritten the Uses in Forensics section entirely (as essentially all of it was ripped from a LiveScience article). It's bare-bones right now and leans a bit too heavily on Principles of Forensic Audio Analysis in terms of citation, but it's a start. I've kept the reference to the Trayvon case though. Perhaps the last paragraph can be a reference to notable cases involving audio analysis as evidence? JuliaGu516 (talk) 01:00, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Got a question, too. How should we handle moving edits over to the main page? I'm not sure if I should put in the rewritten section that I was working on since it's not exactly finalized, but I can edit the final paragraph of my section to sound less biased like I did here.

Update: It's getting a bit late so I'm admittedly a bit panicky on who's going to edit the main article. I put in my edits on the Use in Forensics section, as I didn't feel comfortable leaving the plagiarism there. Please feel free to make edits if you think things are lacking there!

Hey everyone, I moved over all the edits to mainspace! If you have something else to edit, make sure you move it to the main page yourself when you are ready. Devinnatishyn (talk) 02:13, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
