- The demo cites a CC BY 4.0 recording from 38C3 and labels its synthetic interpretation unedited; the speaker is stated to have no connection with the venue.
Field notes
The described venue setup uses the existing lectern or headset microphone and sends its audio from the mixing desk, without requiring changes on stage. The sample notes show language-specific start times, while its attribution identifies the original speaker, recording source, licence, excerpt, and the fact that the generated interpretation is unedited.
