Overall
The aim of this task is to verify that the reading scripts we have
created for speech data collection purposes are correct, and to
highlight any problematic items that may lead to issues in recording
so that these can be addressed.
Background
All of the unique phrases that people will be asked to read aloud in
our recordings have been grouped together into a masterscript,
which is on the first tab of this file.
These scripts were generated by taking various inputs and
combining them in order to cover the requirements of the client. The
prompts were created by taking prompt patterns (column E), such
as "album <AlbumName>" and inserting relevant values into the
slots (dynamic or changeable content - column G), such as "Bad" or
"Lucie". This would lead to the following types of prompts: "album
Bad" and "album Lucie".
Although all the individual inputs to the scripts were checked, we
often find that once all the possible prompt permutations have been
created, certain errors become apparent that were not obvious
originally. For this reason, we would like to have all the prompts
checked to ensure that they will not present issues at the recording
stage.
These scripted prompts are designed to mimic commands that you
would say to your in-car speech recognition system. They cover
functionalities such as navigating to particular places, calling
contacts, searching and playing various media, etc. As these
commands are designed to reflect what a person may say to a
machine, some items may sound a bit unnatural, such as:
"Call Ola home"
