Recreated acquaintance comparison ================================= These commands apply early and later extraction rules to the SAME surviving sentence. They do not regenerate speech and do not reproduce the missing original take. The later cut matches the saved word audio sample for sample. The early cut omits the opening burst of the final repetition. Run from the listen-and-spell repository root. This uses a fresh output folder and leaves the generated batch untouched.

Acquaintance. seed: 1234 max_tokens: 1024 options: exaggeration=0.5, guidance_scale=0.5, temperature=0.8, repetition_penalty=1.2 For the screenshots, open the downloadable acquaintance-sentence.wav in audio-lab (npm --prefix experiment_01/audio-lab run dev). Load either acquaintance-bad.selection.json or acquaintance-good.selection.json from the blog. Use -35 dB and 0.06 seconds for the displayed silence bands in both screenshots; these display settings are independent of the extraction rules. The JSON fingerprints match the downloadable complete sentence. The original screenshot UI rounds boundaries to milliseconds and may resample for playback. The downloadable clips retain the original 24 kHz PCM samples.
