Multilingual Voice Recording Project – Code-Switching Conversations Project Name: BV Project Type: Remote | Ongoing (Limited Slots per Locale) Project Overview Project BV is a multilingual speech data collection initiative designed to enhance Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for high-value multilingual call center scenarios, including financial services, healthcare, and telecommunications. The project focuses on collecting natural code-switching conversational audio, where speakers alternate between two languages within a single conversational turn. Scripts will be provided; however, natural delivery, fluency, and context-appropriate language switching are essential. Language Requirements Primary Language (Native level – one required): European French (fr-FR) Secondary Language (Required): French – Fluent Participants may be located anywhere globally, provided they are native in European French (fr-FR) and fluent in English The Project Manager will request language verification samples for both primary and secondary languages. Participation Structure Participation is one-time only per speaker. Two speakers will form a pair (agent and customer roles). Speakers do not need to be in the same location. Scripts and recording instructions will be provided. Zoom is the preferred method for recording the conversations. Audacity is the preferred tool for converting audio files to the required sample rates and for verifying signal-to-noise ratio compliance. Recording Scope Target volume: 200 hours of audio per locale Per pair output: 1.2 hours of recorded audio Quality acceptance: Minimum 80% usable speech hours Compensation (USD – Per Pair, 2 Speakers) All rates below are paid in United States Dollars (USD) and apply to one hour of final audio (30 minutes per speaker). Payment is split evenly between the two participants. European French (fr-FR) USD 45 per participant Recording Specifications File Format: Stereo WAV Left channel: Agent Right channel: Customer Sample Rates: 8kHz (telephone quality) – 50% 16kHz – 50% Code-Switching Ratio: 70% primary language 30% English ±10% tolerance Delivery Style: Natural, context-pecific language switching No forced or artificial transitions Speaker Requirements Age Distribution Targets: 18–25 years: 30% 25–40 years: 30% 40–65 years: 20% 65+ years: 20% Gender Balance: 50% male / 50% female Language Proficiency: Fluent is mandatory; non-fluent speakers will be rejected European French (fr-FR) is mandatory Participation Limit: Each speaker may participate once only Audio Quality Standards Minimum 25dB signal-to-noise ratio No background noise, distortion, clipping, or echo Quiet, controlled recording environment required Headset or professional microphone strongly recommended How to Apply Applicants should be prepared to provide: * Native language and European French (fr-FR) proficiency details * Age range and gender * Confirmation of one-time participation * Language verification samples upon request * Participants will be placed in a group chat with others of the same language to work out who will work with whom for the recordings.

Hi Colin C., Just last week I completed a similar task successfully, so I can get started on this without any ramp-up time. Two clarifications: Should the 70/30 fr-FR/English code-switching ratio be satisfied per conversation file, per role, or across the pair’s full 1.2 hours, and do you prefer a specific English variety (US/UK) for consistency? For the 8k/16k split, do you require native 8k capture or is high-quality resampling from 16k acceptable, and may we post-process Zoom multitrack to produce final stereo with agent-left/customer-right? Suggestions: Add a lightweight language-ID pre-QA pass to verify the 70/30 ratio and flag out-of-tolerance segments before submission, improving acceptance rates. Automate audio QA (SNR ≥25 dB, no clipping/echo, channel order validation, sample-rate quotas, filename/metadata checks) to scale reliably and cut rework. Action Plan: 1) Onboarding: Provide fr-FR native + English samples, demographics, one-time participation confirmation. 2) Setup: Receive scripts, assign roles, schedule Zoom; mic/room check; 2–3 min pilot to validate SNR and channel mapping. 3) Recording: Conduct scenarios with natural code-switching; track ratio live; capture material for both 8k/16k per your guidance. 4) Post: Map channels, normalize, de-noise minimally, resample if permitted; run automated QA and LID ratio check. 5) Delivery: Submit stereo WAVs, logs, and metadata; iterate quickly on any fixes. Best Regards, Sid
