• receive the manuscript and the audio file via said connection to said network;
• execute a first instruction, said first instruction to transcribe via said processor in
• communication with said memory the audio file into the transcript;
• execute a second instruction, said second instruction to compare the manuscript to
• the transcript;
• execute a third instruction, said third instruction to generate a list of differences between the manuscript and the transcript;
• a user computing device having a second processor, a second memory, a second non-transitory computer readable medium, a display, and a second connection to said network, wherein said second processor and said user computing device are configured to, via communication with said second memory, cause the second processor to:
• display upon said display a user interface to a user, said user interface comprises a navigation interface, a manuscript previewer and a transcript previewer;
• display on said manuscript previewer a segment of the manuscript;
• and
• display on said transcript previewer a segment of the transcript corresponding to said segment of the manuscript;
