Text-to-speech synthesis testing - call for data!

We need your help!

I work in a text-to-speech synthesis group in the University of Toronto's Speech Lab and we're testing a new system for learning the pronunciations of English words (OOV words, for you NLP keeners), but we need data-- recordings of people like you saying a list of about 100 words.

It takes about 15 minutes to help us out with this, and anyone who does will be paid EUR 3.00 (converted to Canadian or US dollars, as you wish). All you need is a Paypal account.

To qualify, you need to submit a sample voice recording on the Crowdee app, which is available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tub.qu.crowdmaqa.android. Our job is called "Recording Words (Qualification Questionnaire)".

Thanks very much! Every recording helps.
