Transcript Inaudible Count Base Tool

Separate audible tokens, counted inaudible markers and excluded annotation markers; excluded markers never enter the base.

Description

Return audibleTokens plus inaudibleMarkers when includeInaudible is true as denominator.

Media proportions depend on whether the denominator includes excluded material, inaudible markers, duplicated roles, or only eligible duration. These choices answer different analytical questions.

Return audibleTokens plus inaudibleMarkers when includeInaudible is true as denominator.

When to use this tool

Use Transcript Inaudible Count Base when you need a media-study proportion with an explicit counting basis.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter audibleTokens, inaudibleMarkers, excludedMarkers, includeInaudible. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read denominator, inaudibleShare. Use the output convention below.

Return audibleTokens plus inaudibleMarkers when includeInaudible is true as denominator. Independently divide inaudibleMarkers by audibleTokens + inaudibleMarkers for inaudibleShare.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • ExcludedMarkers is validated but does not enter either formula; the share denominator is fixed regardless of includeInaudible.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the coding protocol and source material, and report excluded or uncertain annotations separately.

  • Shot Duration Proportion

    Use sequenceDuration or sequenceDuration - excludedDuration as denominator according to excludeMarked, then divide shotDuration by it.

  • Credits Duplicate Role Share

    Subtract duplicateRoles from creditedRoles and divide the resulting uniqueRoles by positive totalRoles.
