Task
By instructing the speaker to solve a certain task (either together
with one or more human dialog partner(s) or with a `virtual
machine' in a WOZ experiment) the contents of a speech corpus can be
reduced to a few hundred words without the problem that speakers
feel restricted by the situation. Again the instruction of the
speakers more or less defines the size of the resulting vocabulary.
Typical tasks in speech data collections might be
- Schedule a business meeting
- Travel planning
- Purchase equipment
- Program your VCR
