New appen speech test
Hi Jonathan!
Appen is currently seeking a team of evaluators for an ongoing British-accented English speech collection project.
In this project, participants will have the opportunity to participate in multiple speech collections using our Appen Mobile Recorder (AMR) on smartphone or tablet. Speech samples collected will be used to help us better understand how humans interact with a conversational bot (such as Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri) and to improve technologies behind such devices.
We currently have two datasets available: free (spontaneous) and scripted. We would like to invite you to participate in the free speech collection first. The first 160 participants that complete the free speech collection will be invited to work on the scripted collection. We expect to complete the collection for this phase by end of day (11:59pm your local time) Tuesday, Feb 20. However, collection may be terminated earlier if enough recordings are gathered, so you are encouraged to complete the task as soon as possible.
In this free speech task, you will be given intents and will record,
in a quiet location, what you would say to a conversational bot that can help you achieve such intents.
This task should take approximately 60 minutes and you will receive AU $17 via PayPal within 10 business days (12-14 days) after completion. Detailed task instructions are provided in the project task tile in
AppenGlobal. Please read the instructions carefully as failure to adhere to them may make you ineligible for payment and/or participation in future projects. Your task tile will be similar to the one shown below. To access the task instructions, follow the steps on the blue button.
