We ran the Yanny vs Laurel audio file through Sonix AI engine and here is the resulting transcription. Laurel it is.

Redditor [RolandCamry](https://www.reddit.com/user/RolandCamry) was the one who originally posted the clip last Saturday. The recording comes from [vocabulary.com](https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel). If you click the audio button next to the word you’ll hear the truth. It’s Laurel.

Our machines engines can’t be wrong can they? 🙂
