Field notes
The page breaks the field process into consent, prompted everyday speech, and synchronization, with checks for audio level, silence, and clipping during capture. It describes automatic pre-transcription followed by human annotator review before dataset assembly. The stated technical target is 16 kHz mono WAV, and the app is presented as suitable for entry-level Android devices and offline collection.
