To collect the Welsh speech corpus, crowdsourcing will be used to recruit people from all ages and geographical background to read a script out loud in Welsh.

A specialised app (Paldaruo) has been developed for iOS and Android mobile phones and tablets to collect the data. The app is available in the individual AppStores. Here’s a video to give an ida of how to use the app:

Here are some screenshots of the app from the iOS devices:

The Paldaruo app will collect metadata from the users including their sex, age, geographical background and accent.

The app guides users through the process of recording their voice by providing a recording script to them. The sound files are sent back to the project server automatically.

The GALLU project has gained ethical approval from Bangor University in March 2014. Within the Paldaruo ap, the user will need to agree to the terms and conditions.
