Data Collection Projects

• Speech Data Collection ... project is completed
  Does your non-profit organization need some money? Here is an interesting fund-raising opportunity. The OGI School of Science & Engineering at OHSU is looking for a contact person to be a regional recruiter and find people within their region who will participate in a cellular phone speech data collection.
  The purpose of this collection is to build better speech recognizing software. To achieve our goal we need to record samples of many different people talking on a cellular telephone. The callers must come from nine different regions of the country and be calling from several different surrounding environments. This is where we will need your assistance.
  In return, we will pay $8 for every caller who completes about 10 minutes long recording session, to the organization. Recruiters can earn up to maximum of $5000 for their organization.
  If you are interested in helping us, or would like more information about this collection, please send an e-mail to Seth Lewin at: project@ece.ogi.edu or you can read details on following website http://www.cslu.ogi.edu/project.
