01 / Record
Start with the way people actually speak.
A conversation carries more than words. Speakers, pauses, distance, and background sound shape the recording. Begin with the situations your system will encounter.
- People
- Languages, accents, and speaking styles
- Conditions
- Device, distance, and background sound
Questions to take to a supplier
- Are the speakers and recording conditions relevant to your model?
- Is the speech scripted, spontaneous, or conversational?
