# TAKE_UNALIGNED

> A take came with no word times and no aligner timed them, so its section plays estimated words. Only narrate raises it.

A take came with no word times and no aligner timed them, so its section plays estimated words. Only narrate raises it.

This finding is a warning, and DeckTalk judges it itself. `decktalk narrate` reports it when it makes or keeps the narration takes.
Pass `--allow TAKE_UNALIGNED` to carry on past it, and `--fail-on` to choose which severity fails a run.

## What to do

Start the aligner the voice uses, then run `decktalk narrate` again.
