Speech to Text Audio Collection Project - Malay Speakers

TELUS Digital is seeking Malay speakers to participate in a Speech-to-Text (STT) audio collection project. Participants will record voice utterances by reading provided scripts in Malay English (Manglish) using our mobile or web application. During multiple recording sessions, you will receive scripts covering various everyday conversational topics and read them naturally and conversationally—avoiding overly formal or robotic speech patterns.

The Primary Objective
