Bigrams across uncertain spaces

[ReneZ]

PS: Rene, in case you read this thread, could you tell us some more about the comma vs dot distinction? (This happened long before many people here were into VM research). How exactly did the "uncertain spaces" come to be? How were they judged?

I'm here...
This is something that naturally came up while transcribing. Some gaps really look like word spaces, and they have been denoted by a full stop / period.
Others seemed doubtful - it was not clear if these were word spaces or just a slightly larger gap between adjacent characters. They have been denoted by a comma.

This process was, of course, strongly subjective.
Gabriel Landini and myself did this in parallel, and we came up with different opinions.
