Zaatar Speech Collection - Levantine Arabic Speakers (Adults)
Welcome and thank you for your interest in our project!
We are currently looking for native Levantine Arabic speakers, both adults and children, to participate in our Zaatar Speech Collection project.
What is the project about?
The purpose of this project is to improve the functionality of Arabic voice recognition technologies used in educational platforms. We are looking for a wide variety of Arabic speakers with various accents, both adults and children.
Each participant, adult or minor, will need to record a series of sentences in Arabic, using our mobile application, DataForce Contribute. The selected candidates will be provided with the project guidelines, the scripts that need to be read, and instructions on how to download and use our app.
Who is eligible?
To participate you should meet the following qualifying criteria:
Adults:
- Be over 18 years old.
- Have a smartphone device to download our app and use it for recording.
- Native speaker of Arabic (Levantine), located in Jordan, Lebanon, or Palestine.
Note that we are running this project for all Arabic accents, if your accent is not Levantine, kindly check our website for the rest of the accents needed. You can also write to DataForce.Sourcing@transperfect.com if you want to get the registration link(s) for other Arabic accents.
Children (to be registered separately):
- Be 7 to 17 years old
- Native speakers of Arabic (Levantine)
For this project we are looking for participants in specific demographic groups to help develop bias free technology that would represent everyone. To assess your accent, we will ask you to upload a short sample voice recording at the end of this application form.
