Control of Recording Process

The easiest way to ensure the compliance with the specifications (recording setup, technical specifications) is to include spot tests into the check lists of the experimenter / supervisor and to make sure that they are observed. Spot tests may concern the speech data itself, the required questionnaires and data forms and the backup procedures (see also section , p. ). Spot tests may be automated to some extent, but if you do so, we recommend adding some random component to make sure you're not checking the same data again and again.
