Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems that may be used for providing quality control for audio samples. The audio samples may be speech samples of a user. The user may be participating in an audio interview.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- (a) obtaining a first speech sample from a user;
- (b) determining that said first speech sample does not satisfy at least one quality control requirement of a plurality of quality control requirements, wherein said plurality of quality control requirements corresponds to one or more properties selected from the group consisting of a missing response, a vocal volume, a vocal response speed, and a presence or absence of background noise, and wherein said at least one quality control requirement of said plurality of quality control requirements is associated with an instruction that indicates
- (i) that said at least one quality control requirement was not satisfied, and
- (ii) how to satisfy said at least one quality control requirement in a second speech sample;
- (c) providing said instruction associated with said at least one quality control requirement to said user, wherein said instruction is generated based on a plurality of priority ratings associated with said plurality of quality control requirements, wherein at least one of said plurality of priority ratings is dynamically adjustable based on
- (i) an effect of said one or more properties on audio processing of said first speech sample and
- (ii) an ability of said user to satisfy one or more of said plurality of quality control requirements;
- and
- (d) prompting said user to provide said second speech sample.
6 more elements
A system, comprising:
- one or more computer processors operatively coupled to computer memory, wherein said
- one or more computer processors are individually or collectively configured to
- (a) determine that a first speech sample of a user does not satisfy at least one quality control requirement of a plurality of quality control requirements, wherein said plurality of quality control requirements corresponds to one or more properties selected from the group consisting of a missing response, a vocal volume, a vocal response speed, and a presence or absence of background noise, and wherein said at least one quality control requirement of said plurality of quality control requirements is associated with an instruction that indicates:
- (i) that said at least one quality control requirement was not satisfied, and
- (ii) how to satisfy said at least one quality control requirement in a second speech sample;
- (b) providing said instruction associated with said at least one quality control requirement to said user, wherein said instruction is generated based on a plurality of priority ratings associated with said plurality of quality control requirements, wherein at least one of said plurality of priority ratings is dynamically adjustable based on
- (i) an effect of said one or more properties on audio processing of said first speech sample and
- (ii) an ability of said user to satisfy one or more of said plurality of quality control requirements;
- and
- (c) prompt said user to provide said second speech sample.
7 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more computers, to cause said one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- (a) obtaining a first speech sample from a user;
- (b) determining that said first speech sample satisfies at least one quality control requirement of a plurality of quality control requirements, wherein said plurality of quality control requirements corresponds to one or more properties selected from the group consisting of a missing response, a vocal volume, a vocal response speed, and a presence or absence of background noise, and wherein said at least one quality control requirement of said plurality of quality control requirements is associated with an instruction that indicates
- (i) that said at least one quality control requirement was not satisfied, and
- (ii) how to satisfy said at least one quality control requirement in a second speech sample;
- (c) providing said instruction associated with said at least one quality control requirement to said user, wherein said instruction is generated based on a plurality of priority ratings associated with said plurality of quality control requirements, wherein at least one of said plurality of priority ratings is dynamically adjustable based on
- (i) an effect of said one or more properties on audio processing of said first speech sample and
- (ii) an ability of said user to satisfy one or more of said plurality of quality control requirements;
- and
- (d) prompting said user to provide said second speech sample.
