# Check Transcript Data

After you have normalized the transcript text, you can check the transcript for any large, mismatched sections.

To check a transcript

- Send an `AddTask` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameters:

  `Type` | The task name. Set to `TranscriptCheck`.
  `TxtFile` | The normalized transcript file.
  `CtmFile` | The speech-to-text transcript file produced from the audio file.
  `Out` | The file to write a transcript that contains the approximate timestamps to.
  `DiagFile` | The alignment diagnostics file to generate.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddTask&Type=TranscriptCheck&TxtFile=C:\data\transcript.txt&CtmFile=C:\misc\speechtext.ctm&Out=AlignResults.ctm&DiagFile=myResults.diag

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to compare the `transcript.txt` and `speechtext.ctm` files to produce the transcript file with approximate timestamps (`AlignResults.ctm`), and the diagnostics file.

The `AlignResults.ctm` output file is in the following format:

    She 0.000 255.190
    was 0.000 255.190
    the 0.000 255.190
    guardian 0.000 255.190
    of 0.000 255.190

The file contains approximate timings of the transcript words in the audio file. You can use this information as the first step in an iterative transcript alignment process.

This action returns a token. You can use the token to:

- Check the task status. See Check the Status of a Task.
- Retrieve the results files. See Find Recommended Language Resources to Use in a Task.
