This project aims to gather high-quality audio data to develop and improve wake word detection systems. If you have experience in audio recording, data collection, or managing speakers, we invite you to be part of this exciting opportunity.

Project Overview:

The goal of this project is to collect clear, high-quality audio samples that contain instances of specified wake words. The collected data will support the training and testing of a robust wake word detection system used in various environments and conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collect audio data from U.S. English dialects, including:
    • Northeast
    • Southern
    • African American
    • Mid-West
    • Hispanic

    • Primarily adults aged 30+, with a majority aged 60+
    • Gender balance of at least 40% per gender
  • Device Variability:
    • Hearing aid recording systems (provided by the client)
    • PC or other high-quality recording systems

Project Requirements:

  • Quantity: 3000 speakers, each providing:
    • 5–15 positive wake word utterances with varied speed and pronunciation
    • 3–5 "confusing" utterances
    • 15-30 seconds of negative speech (TBD)
  • Audio Quality: High-quality recordings with minimal background noise, meeting technical standards (16bit, 16KHz or higher).
  • Data Labeling: Audio files must be labeled with metadata, including wake word, environment, device type, and participant details (age, gender, language, dialect).

Deliverables:

  • Raw audio data with wake word instances and relevant speech.
  • Labeled audio files, organized by environment, device type, and other specified criteria.
  • A comprehensive Data Summary Report detailing the data collection process, participant demographics, environments covered, and any challenges encountered.
  • Regular status updates on the progress of the data collection.

Who Should Apply:

We are looking for:

  • Freelancers to participate as individual speakers for audio recording.
