More #AWSTranscribe fun(?) fixing up errors in the transcriptions of my biodiversity survey notes. Here are some of the latest highlights:

"ammonia mascara" = Amanita muscaria
"Paradise showdown" = Paradise shelduck
"fire blood" = flower buds
"back to back goal" = black-backed gull
"craig walker song" = grey warbler song
"bloody of the video" = Buddleja davidii
"Nick Deira and Yada Lavi" = Nyctemera annulata larvae

I don't recommend the ammonia mascara, but then Amanita muscaria is a poisonous mushroom.

Nick Deira and Yada Lavi sound like a lovely couple. Anyone know them?

Was that a small-leaved Coprosma or just a small little poser?

(Yes, I'm correcting some of my computer-transcribed audio notes.)

Wrestling with auto-generated transcripts where alfoil gets mentioned repeatedly (colloquial term for tin foil/aluminium foil), the transcript kept reading it as “Alf oil”.

Now I’m imagining squeezing that ‘80s puppet for everything he’s got.
