Job Posted: 16.04.2021 17:39:32
Important: only recordings meeting or exceeding the quality of the accepted sample will be paid for if they meet the minimum speech time required. No payment for partial deliverables can be made. We need you to record clear and clean children speech audio files that meet the following requirements: -The speakers must be between 9 to 10 years old. -7 minutes of speech (i.e. we do not accept silence or noise to be a part of that 7 minutes unless these are natural speech pauses of a few seconds between sentences). -The speaker needs to use a headset or a studio microphone to record. Please set the recording quality to the highest available setting. -The speaker must record from a noise-free environment. We only need clean speech. -The speech needs to be intelligible and understandable. -We are looking for spontaneous speech or articulated speech, e.g. arguments, debates, kids explaining something, exciting or sad situations, including acting/drama. -Kids can also read or tell one or more stories (example link https://www.gutenberg.org/files/11592/11592-h/11592-h.htm) or sing a song but the recordings must not contain other (non-speech) sounds, music. -Make sure there is no playing with the microphone (causing sounds) or breathing directly into it. -Make sure the recording level is such that the captured audio is not saturated (so loud that it gets distorted). -The recording shall not contain any personally identifiable information like names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc. -Do not modify or use any software to enhance, adjust, or edit the original audio file. Editing is ok only if you need to cut out unwanted parts (e.g. noise). -If you have a recording studio and you can provide us with 48kHz recordings, let me know, we can discuss recording more speakers. -The attached recordings shall be used as guidance on the quality we are expecting. Listen to the project files, you will have a better idea about what we mean with clean speech. Those are the type of files that we need to get from you. We will provide our IP/copyright and privacy statement that needs to be agreed upon. Please see the attachment and find more information about our Online Privacy Statement here https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/privacy-full.html Please review all the previous requirements before submitting a proposal. If you agree and comply with the requirements, please submit a 20-seconds sample to be considered (record the file directly in .WAV format, avoid .mp3 files or any other compressed format).
