Saw this in my mailbox last week and I immediately replied to fix an appointment. Students in the CMU ECE department are doing a study on Singaporean accents. We are paying students from Singapore $5.00 !!!!!!!!!! to read three brief sentences into a computer and would love for you to be a participant in our study. If interested we will be at:
Sunday, Nov. 5th [4pm-12am] ==>New House (Main Lounge)
Monday, Nov. 6th [6pm-10pm] ==>New House (Main Lounge)
Tuesday, Nov. 7th [6pm-10pm] ==>New House (Main Lounge)
Wednesday, Nov. 8th [6pm-10pm] ==>New House (Main Lounge)
Our email is chumphre@andrew.cmu.edu please feel free to contact us [w/ the time] if you will be participating. The study should take no more then 15-20mins. Hope to see you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Learnt from the person organizing the study that the point of her research is to find out how voice recognition systems, especially those used for commercial transactions over the phone, can be adapted to better meet the needs of people with distinctive accents.
