Las Cruces Council Meeting - Jan 2, 2024
The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 26 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 26 were found in the recording.
Tracks the recording closely. The comparison is mechanical and has no opinion about why two documents differ. A gap can be honest summarising; a mismatch can be the caption software mishearing. Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.
