We are looking for native speakers of Portuguese to participate in a short recording project that simulates real-life conversations in noisy environments. The recordings will help improve AI speech technology in diverse acoustic conditions.
Project Overview:
Participants will work in pairs to record a 5-minute conversation using our online recording platform ("Workbench"). The conversation should sound natural and take place in a setting with consistent background noise (e.g., café, office, or home with TV/music playing).
You will receive clear setup instructions and short training before recording.
Tasks:
* Join the project's recording platform via phone.
* Record one conversation (5–10 minutes) following the provided scenario.
* Maintain clear, natural speech without reading from a script.
* Ensure background noise is present but does not overpower speech.
* Avoid overlapping speech and personal data.
Requirements:
* Native Portuguese speaker (currently living in Portugal preferred).
* Quiet but naturally noisy environment (e.g., café, park, office).
* Mobile phone or computer with microphone and stable internet connection.
* Ability to follow simple recording instructions in English.
* Must complete both roles (Host and Attendee) within the pair.
