Overview
Terac is building a large dataset of conversational voice recordings, and the recordings come from everyday speakers rather than studio talent. You join a paid study by calling into an automated telephony system on your own phone, then work through a set of spoken prompts. The call mixes short scripted lines with unscripted answers to simple questions, and the audio feeds research on voice recognition and phone-based systems. Everything happens over a standard voice call from wherever you are in the USA, with no video and no screen sharing at any point.
What You'll Do6
- Call a designated automated telephony line from your own phone to begin the session
- Speak each short scripted phrase out loud in a clear, natural voice
- Answer basic conversational questions with your own unscripted spoken responses
- Keep background noise low for the length of the recording
- Follow the spoken cues the system gives you and continue until the session wraps up
- Stay on the line and speak at a steady pace so the audio stays usable
Requirements6
- Comfortable having your voice recorded during a phone call
- A reliable phone line that carries clear audio
- Able to understand and act on automated audio instructions
- A quiet space without heavy background noise
- Based in the USA
- Willing to speak both scripted lines and spontaneous answers
Who Should Apply
The role suits everyday speakers in the USA who have a dependable phone line and a quiet room to record in. People from varied linguistic backgrounds who can read a short script and then answer simple questions off the cuff fit well here.
Salary Insight
The listing does not post a rate, so pay is not disclosed up front. Expect compensation details to come up during the study screening, which is common for paid voice collection projects run per session.
