There are very few open source collections of speech data where individual
words are spoken by a large number of different people. This makes it tough to
build good open source examples of detecting spoken keywords.
To fill this gap, the
One Scream team
is hoping to gather single spoken words from several hundred people.
To make sure that we're able to share your data as part of a public data set with no privacy or other concerns, we need to get your agreement formally. If you would like to participate in providing some samples, please review and confirm your agreement to the following:
Participant Agreement
One Scream Ltd, for itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“One Scream”), and the other party identified below (“You”) agree as follows:
1. By participating, this website will ask for permission to use your microphone and prompt you to speak words which we will record (the “Study”). These words will appear on-screen, one after another, over the course of around five minutes, with short pauses in between. When the microphone is active, you’ll see an oscilloscope display showing a waveform reflecting the audio received. The Record button will turn red when a word is being recorded (each a “clip”). Clips will be displayed in the bottom half of the web page where you can review and delete any of them locally before submitting them to One Scream. Clips will only be sent to One Scream when you press the ‘Upload’ button, or the ‘OK’ button on the dialog that appears once you’ve completed all the requested words. At any point you can press the ‘Stop’ button to pause the recording process. Navigating away from this website will remove all local copies of the clips.
2. Your participation is voluntary and you may choose to cease participation at any time. You will not be compensated for your participation.
3. By participating, you agree that One Scream may use the clips to develop and improve its products, and share the clips with others, including the general public, for example, as part of a public dataset to facilitate research. You understand that your voice alone or in combination with other information could identify you. You specifically waive and release any potential intellectual property right, right of publicity, or right of privacy claim against One Scream or others for use or sharing of your clips.
4. ONE SCREAM MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE STUDY AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES UNDER THIS RELEASE IN EXCESS OF $10.
5. This agreement does not create any agency or partnership relationship. This agreement is not assignable or transferable by you. This agreement is the parties’ entire agreement on this topic, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements. Any amendments must be in writing. Failure to enforce any of provisions of this agreement will not constitute a waiver. This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales. The exclusive venue for any dispute relating to this agreement will be London, United Kingdom.
By clicking ‘I Agree’ you confirm that you are at least eighteen years of age, you understand the points above, and consent to the collection, use, and sharing of the Clips and to One Scream's
Terms & Conditions and
Privacy Policy.
