Good afternoon,
I hope this finds you well.
We have a Speech Collection project in place I would like to invite you to participate. The task requires British English native speakers to read through a large number (400+) of short, pre-constructed sentences or answer simple questions.
If you are not a British English native speaker, unfortunately you will not be able to participate therefore I kindly ask you to ignore this email.
If you have taken part to a previous round of the IVR Speech Collection/Recording Project ('Natasha Recording'), please let me know as you may not be eligible for this round.
The conditions are as follows:
- Participants must be British English native speakers
- A 2-minute recording test must be passed in order to access the task
- 90-120 minutes recording time: sentences vary considerably in length and need to be read at a normal speed
- $50 USD for a successful recording - please note, rate is per completed task.
- External microphone is needed (good quality 3.5mm, three-ring jack headset - NO USB headsets!)
- Either Windows PC/Mac machine with touch pad, Android smartphone, or iOS iPhone
- A stable internet connection
- Quiet environment (no background noise)
Participants will record on a dedicated web-based platform that can be accessed from either a Windows PC, a Mac, an iPhone, or an Android smartphone - so there is no need for additional software.
The indicative deadline for completing this 120 minutes task is End of Day Tuesday, 15th February. If you are interested and available, please follow the instructions on the pdf document attached to submit the recording test; once done, please let me know via email and provide details of your regional accent.
Please note, task allocation will be made on a first come, first served basis.
Not sure I have it in me again lol
