Common questions
How does this differ from spontaneous speech?
Speakers follow scripts in this collection. Spontaneous collections contain unscripted speech. Keeping them separate helps you choose the speaking style and coverage that match your recognition task.
Does the 10,000-hour figure apply to this product alone?
No. It is the combined total for Scripted Monologues and Call-Center Conversations. Request this product’s hour allocation and speaker breakdown before choosing a release.
