Summary

Short final file (about 1:44) of a four-file session with Rosa Sternberg, Chernovtsy, 22 May 2015. The opening is a few Russian remarks of a farewell or thanks nature, followed by what looks like a song sung in Yiddish, but the transcript is too garbled to identify it.

Stretches

00:00–00:46

Russian talk with farewell and thanks, a remark about photographs and a beautiful woman and two men, a mention of singing songs, and a question whether she has finished talking. The speakers and context are not clear.

Informal

00:46–01:33

A song or recited text seems to be performed, but the transcript is garbled and the words cannot be identified; the Yiddish lines are noise. The title and content are unknown.

Notes on the transcript

The file is the end of a session. The transcript is almost entirely recogniser output from non-Yiddish models. Only the Russian lines at the start are readable. The identification of the final stretch as singing is a guess.
