Description

I am doing a research study on people in various countries and their speech abilities with regards to English. I am in particular looking for people with very bad English speaking skills. I also would like a picture of these people. Please state in your bid what country you will be doing this project in.

What you will need for this project:
- Good audio recording equipment
- A digital Camera

What you will do:
- I will give you a list of English sentences I want you to get the person to read. Each item that people will read will only take 3-10 seconds to read.
- You will find women and men in your country that barely speak English, or that speak it but very poorly so it is hard to understand.
- You will record the women and men speaking a couple of the sentences from the list I give you.
- Each recording should be good quality, without too much background noise.
- You will then take a picture of them with a digital camera. I do not need a picture of their legs, from the stomach up with their head would be a good photo.
- Keep the picture with the person's audio recording, so I know which picture is attached to each audio recording.


If you do a good job with the number of phrases/sentences I give you and find good people for my study, I will ask you to do more work for me.

Thanks,

Ben

02/20/2009 at 12:20 EST:
I want the people that submit bids to understand that they are just 1 of many bidders I will be selecting, and each winning bidder will be doing something that takes maybe 2-3 hours. If you are selected you likely only need to record 15 people and take their pictures, which shouldn't take that long. I am a university student doing research and do not have lots of money to waste on something that can be done in a short amount of time.

Thank you,

Ben

02/20/2009 at 13:24 EST:
Just to clarify, the audio recordings are only going to be a few seconds. A typical thing you will have them say is, "Where is the bathroom sir?" or "A corvette is faster than a Toyota Prius" and other short sentences.

Hi: I am an American living in Hong Kong SAR, I have an H2 ZOOM digital recorder with outstanding audio quality. I can put the files in mp3 or WMA at different sample rates. I normally use 128kbs sample rate and mp3 format, it makes for good quality and reasonably small file sizes. I will use my Sony camera that takes VGA. 1gb, 3gb, 3,2gbwide, and 5,2gb quality pics. Normally I would use VGA for this type of application for sending files over the internet, however, if you want higher quality I can send them in separate e-mails or we can link up on yahoo IM. Let me know. My name is Mark

I live in Davao City, Philippines, I will have people in my local community to take the test, they speak little in english, they have only basic english subject in elementary school. I will be using a digicam about 9 pixels, and my cellphone as my audio recording. I will also use my computer for the editing. I will do little editing with the photo so i can embed the audio with the picture as you are viewing them. But I can also send you a photo and a separate audio, depending which preference you'd like. Or send you 15 folder files with pics and audio files each folders.

HI, I respond from India. As you know, India is a very diverse country with more than 500 languages being spoken in the country. Here, ethnicity changes from state to state. I can do a full survey for you throughout the country provided my travelling & accommodation expenses are take care of. We can finalise on an amount of $1000 for the entire project with as many people you want. As for now, I am bidding $30 in one day and shall give you maximum diverse trends as can be possible.
