How the Record is made

The Wire pulls each meeting from the city's own video archive, transcribes it with speech recognition, and has its research desk index what was discussed, who spoke, and what the votes were, using the published agenda for item names. Speech recognition mishears names and numbers, so treat the transcript as a finding aid and the video as the record. Every timestamp links to that moment in the original video.
