The questions use the ’ character, while the responses use the ' character instead. These characters should be treated as equivalent.
Each row of a tsv file represents a single audio clip, and contains the following information:
client_id - hashed UUID of a given user
audio_id - numeric id for audio file
audio_file - audio file name
duration_ms - duration of audio in milliseconds
prompt_id - numeric id for prompt
prompt - question for user
transcription - transcription of the audio response
votes - number of people that who approved a given transcript
age - age of the speaker1
gender - gender of the speaker1
language - language name
split - for data modelling, which subset of the data does this clip pertain to
char_per_sec - how many characters of transcription per second of audio
quality_tags - some automated assessment of the transcription--audio pair, separated by |
transcription-length - character per second under 3 characters per second
speech-rate - characters per second over 30 characters per second
short-audio - audio length under 2 seconds
long-audio - audio length over 5 minutes
