We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control. These are sizable transfers. 1/ 🧵

✨New from me and my amazing coauthors on audio-as-data🎙️ For both speech-to-text and computational phonology tools, we find that results across tools are generally similar, but some subtle preprocessing differences can materially change the output doi.org/10.17645/mac.7…
