Abstract :
An automated method for collecting speech samples from subjects speaking over ordinary dialed-up telephone lines is described. Callers enter into a dialogue with an applications machine which is a computer system with both word recognition and speech output capabilities. The first part of the interaction involves a semi-formal training procedure during which the callers are asked to repeat a set of words in order to produce templates. In the second part of the session, the machine asks the callers certain questions, and the subjects´ responses are recognised and recorded. Thus examples of words spoken in the context of a true machine-human dialogue are obtained
