Speakers: Voice Recording for an Audio Collection Project

What We're Researching

We are running a paid study to build a comprehensive dataset of conversational voice recordings. This work feeds directly into improving automated voice recognition and telephony systems for real-world applications. Your participation helps ensure that these systems can accurately process diverse speech patterns and natural phrasing.

How It Works

You will dial into an automated telephony system using your own phone to complete a series of voice prompts. During the call, the system will ask you to read short scripted phrases and provide spontaneous spoken responses to simple questions. The entire process takes place remotely via a standard voice call, so no video or screen sharing is required. You will simply follow the audio instructions and speak naturally until the recording session concludes.

Who This Is For

We are looking for everyday voice contributors who are comfortable speaking clearly over a standard phone connection. We welcome participants from diverse linguistic backgrounds who can follow simple audio prompts. Individuals with clear communication skills and access to a reliable phone line are ideal for this project.

• Dial into a designated automated telephony system
• Read short scripted phrases aloud clearly and naturally
• Provide spontaneous unscripted responses to basic conversational prompts
• Ensure a quiet background environment during the recording process

Requirements

• Comfortable speaking naturally on recorded phone calls
• Access to a reliable phone line with clear audio quality
