A: Alright .
D: That 's great !
E: They don't show up on that thing .
F: Well , I I bet they 're recorded
D: Yeah .
H: Oh , yeah .
D: They 'll be they 'll be deaf deafening the transcriber .
F: quite loudly .
E: Yeah , I 'm sure I 'm sure they 're recorded .
F: Yeah , so it A: They want to do something serious with this research .
E: They tend to clip .
B: Hmm .
F: That 's a nice user interface , Dan .
D: That 's that 's really something .
F: Very F: what does " solo " mean ?
H: Uh , it means I was trying to think of things they put on real mixers that I should have on mine .
F: Ah !
D: Oh .
H: But it it 's really good .
H: The solo actually B: So you can feed it to the A: Solo means you just E: Ahh .
B: feed it through the headphones , for example .
H: cuz it 's actually you know , it 's it 's how to it 's what can I what application can I have for a for a , uh , a class method rather or a class you know , a class procedure .
A: can H: So the solo by sa satellite .
H: Then if you click on one of the other ones , it clears that one .
B: Hmm .
F: Oh ,
F: but it doesn't actually do anything else ?
A: OK .
H: Doesn't do anything ,
H: no , no .
H: But I mean , it 's E: So you 've implemented radio buttons .
D: It looks pretty slick though .
D: That 's great .
H: Yeah .
D: Ca - can can we fast forward through this conversation ?
A: So F: Oh , yeah , that 's right .
H: Yeah ,
H: the uh ,
C: Actually I think this thing is really cutting the blood flow .
D: No .
H: those C: I 'm gonna pass out .
A: Wait ,
A: you you 're going to be you 're going to be saying , you know , funnier things ,
C: This is a very sensual thing .
F: Yeah ,
F: I think a lot o a lot of us ended up wearing it around your neck and then facing up .
A: so leave it on .
B: Hmm .
F: I kn and , uh , just because there doesn't seem to be a good way to mount it .
C: Maybe this is a little better .
A: Yeah ,
D: That 's really nice .
A: I mean C: Boy !
A: Clearly I mean , my impression is i if I have to wear this thing , you know , more than five minutes , uh , uh , uh , I mean , I I will be completely affected by it somehow .
D: Huh .
A: So .
F: This this thing ?
A: I wouldn't be A: Yeah .
F: Or or just that one ?
A: Oh .
A: That that one .
F: Yeah .
A: The one I tried .
D: I mean , on on the temple 's the pressure ?
A: I 'd A: They really press my temples ,
D: Uh - huh .
G: Oh yeah .
A: otherwise my ear channels ,
G: That would give you a headache .
E: What happened ?
A: otherwise my joints here .
A: I mean , depending where I put it , <comment> it press different things ,
B: Mmm .
A: but that 's a @ @ fine .
D: I think we have to add that to the to the form they sign .
A: I mean F: So F: so the A: Yeah .
A: So ,
B: Yes ,
B: that 's right .
A: I mean , this this thing of course is probably , you know , acoustically more challenging
B: The medical .
F: I think F: Yeah .
A: but I like this .
F: Oh , yeah .
F: But this is very comfortable .
A: Th
F: I mean , I I could wear this without any difficulty .
A: Is it ?
G: Can you convert these ear ones to something comfortable ?
G: I mean , just by putting little E: They have so much pressure at th it 's A: But but there there I think , is a t you know ,
F: I C: Yeah , this is just m bad design . This , um , this is F: We c we 'd we 'd have to buy new ones .
B: Mmm .
E: Yeah .
G: Or j
G: Yeah ,
G: I mean , you can just use the microphone and take the headband off .
F: The the other wa
F: the other way I had it , which might work , is you put one over an ear
F: and then you can adjust the other one .
D: Uh - oh .
F: And that didn't that seemed to be pretty C: Ouch .
F: That doesn't work for you ?
A: No .
A: A Anything which is distracting or painful , is going to impact negatively with this .
D: Yeah .
B: Mmm .
G: But maybe the F: So so you see how Jane 's wearing it ?
B: Mmm .
F: That seems to work OK too .
A: Yeah .
H: Yeah .
D: It 's very comfortable .
A: But I mean ,
F: And you just have to bring it up .
A: but at that point at that point it wouldn't be much different to to wear this or that .
C: Yeah ,
C: go to that .
H: Right ,
H: right .
F: Well , except you can bring it quite a bit closer to your mouth .
F: So .
A: Hhh . <comment> OK .
H: But , uh , yeah ,
H: but it 's not such a it 's not such a directional microphone probably .
A: I mean , but probably this is designed in such a way that it should be closer .
A: And this , eh , eh but this is designed to be worn like this to be worn like this .
H: Yeah .
F: Mm - hmm .
H: Yeah .
F: Right .
F: So .
F: Yeah , we maybe we should look into if we can buy a replacement .
D: Sure .
F: If they 're eighty bucks , that might be worth doing cuz they 're very uncomfortable .
H: Mm - hmm .
A: I mean , I really like this .
A: Uh I I mean , if I have to design the thing , uh I I would rather , you know , use this type of thing than the other ones .
F: Well , I mean , what you 'd rather do is nothing at all ,
A: And also i is D: Wow .
E: Just trying to give you a hard transcription task .
F: of course ,
F: but to get to get a good quality I mean , if if you were listening to it downstairs , that one 's quite a bit lower quality .
A: Yeah .
E: No .
E: I 'm sorry .
A: Yeah .
D: Hey , whi what where are @ @ ?
A: Yeah .
C: What are you doing ?
G: Yeah , yeah .
A: Yeah , yeah , I noticed that .
D: Do you s do you know Have you studied a click language ?
F: So .
A: I noticed that .
D: I don't @ @ A: But , you know , that that might be the challenging part .
E: No , I wish .
E: No .
D: Wow .
E: No .
F: Yeah .
E: Just studied phonetics in general .
A: I mean , because otherwise you are G: If it didn't if it didn't hurt , you know , if it was comfortable but you knew it was there , would it bother you ?
D: OK .
D: I 'll just take A: If it was comfortable OK .
F: Yeah .
F: Well well try this one on .
G: Because I actually think it sort of makes everybody act a little more professional .
D: I didn't know that you could whistle that A: OK .
D: You 're a very soft whistler ,
D: you 're mostly able to do that without much air at all ,
C: Actually , I use something like this on on the telephone and it 's very comfortable .
G: Yeah .
A: I , uh ,
F: I
G: Your telephone ,
D: aren't you ?
A: I mean , no .
G: and people use it for cell phones
E: Yeah , it 's weird .
H: Yeah .
E: It 's kind of , uh ,
G: and .
A: I mean ,
E: apical - alveolar kind of thing .
H: Yeah .
E: I don't know .
H: Right ,
D: OK .
H: cuz you 've got E: It 's <comment> You know ?
D: OK .
A: I D: Wow , that 's amazing !
A: I A: I mean , I 'm kind of more deaf on this ear , whatever this is on . Uh , I could wear it this way . Still , I I I mean , I 'm
E: Get a very high pitch that way too .
E: And you get dogs to d cock their heads and stuff .
H: Yeah it is ,
A: I
H: yeah .
A: I mean , it 's my impression . I mean , of course there is a lot more work to do with this one
E: It 's really good .
D: Oh , how fun !
E: Cuz you can get really high .
D: Can you project it pretty well ?
D: I mean A: but E: No .
E: Not too well .
D: OK .
D: OK .
E: Yeah .
D: But they 're just very , very sensitive .
E: But it 's that you get enough of the high frequencies .
A: I mean if if you want something really really nonintrusive , really nonintrusive , really something that E: Yeah ,
E: that you really get you really get animals like D: Fascinating !
D: Wow .
G: Mm - hmm .
E: Yeah .
F: Well , I guess my feeling is that this is for collecting a corpus not for an actual end - user application .
D: Huh .
F: And so I think a little bit of intrusion is not ridiculous .
A: OK .
A: OK .
C: Not for this , for sure .
C: No .
C: I mean , it 's just But talking in general , yeah , that 's , uh B: So A: OK .
G: I think you can't do any research otherwise .
A: Well B: What exactly is the purpose of the corpus ?
F: Yeah ,
F: I agree .
G: It 's just A: I mean , you think you think if you B: What 's the purpose of the F: Training s Training speech recognition systems .
G: It 's too hard .
G: It 's too hard without A: Do you think this is going to be too f too B: Right .
G: I think you should collect both simultaneously .
B: But it will train them to the microphone characteristics of this c
F: We wanna do both .
G: And F: So so the the point is that if you if we try , from the get go , to do it off the PZM , we won't get anything .
