Santhali Speech Data Collection

We are currently looking for contributors proficient in the Santhali language for an audio data collection project. Project Details: Language: Santhali Total Effort: 15 hours Task Type: Audio Data Collection via Gemini App Activity: Record conversations with the Gemini application Requirements: Must be able to read and write in Santhali Should have basic communication skills in the language Must have access to 2 mobile devices (required for recording the conversation) Ability to follow instructions and complete tasks within the given guidelines Objective behind the task: Your task is to evaluate the quality of Gemini Live's responses in Indic expansion languages (Maithili, Santali, Kashmiri, and others). You will be provided with a set of English queries in the GEMINI Live i18n Testing spreadsheet. For each query, you will translate it into your assigned target language, conduct a short multi-turn conversation with the model via Gemini Live, and then rate the model's performance across several quality dimensions in the spreadsheet. Provided Data - Query Set: The English prompts are listed in the GEMINI Live i18n Testing spreadsheet under the "English Prompt" column. - Target Language / Locale: The language you are assigned to test (e.g., Maithili, Santali, Kashmiri). Each locale has its own tab in the spreadsheet. - Rating Sheet: Record all your ratings directly in the spreadsheet tab corresponding to your locale. Task Step-by-Step Process Step 1: Translate the Query - Take the provided English query from the "English Prompt" column in the spreadsheet. - Translate it into your assigned target language. The translation should be natural and idiomatic — not a word-for-word literal translation. - Enter the translated prompt in the "Localised prompt" column in the spreadsheet. - If the query doesn't make cultural sense in the target language, adapt it while preserving the intent (e.g., replace a US-centric reference with a locally relevant one). Step 2: Start a Gemini Live Conversation - Start a new chat for each query. Do not reuse or continue a previous conversation — each query must be tested in a fresh Gemini Live session to avoid context carryover from earlier queries. - Open Gemini Live on your mobile device. - Speak the translated query in the target language. - Wait for the model's response. Step 3: Extend the Conversation (2-3 Follow-up Turns) - After the model's initial response, continue the conversation for 2-3 additional turns in the same target language related to the same topic. - Each turn should have at least a couple of sentences — do not use single-word follow-ups. - Your follow-up turns should be natural extensions of the conversation — for example: - Ask a clarifying question about the response - Ask the model to elaborate on a point - Provide a follow-up request related to the original topic - Correct the model if it responded in the wrong language and see if it adapts - Stay in the target language throughout the conversation. Do not switch to English or Hindi unless the model does so first (and in that case, note it in your rating). Step 4: Share the Conversation Link After the conversation ends, share the link to the conversation so reviewers can access the full transcript and context. Follow these steps: 1. Open the Gemini app on your device. 2. Navigate to your conversation history (tap the recent chats / history icon). 3. Find and open the conversation you just completed. 4. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) at the top of the conversation. 5. Select "Share & export" → "Share". 6. Choose "Get link" or "Copy link" to generate a shareable link. 7. Paste the conversation share link into the "Sharelink" column in the spreadsheet. Note: Make sure the link is accessible (not restricted to only you). If the share link option is not available for your conversation, take screenshots of the full transcript (scrolling to capture all turns), upload them to a Google Drive folder, and paste the Drive folder link instead. Step 5: Record and Upload the Voice Conversation Since the conversation link only captures the transcript, we also need the actual voice recording to evaluate audio quality (pronunciation, accent, TTS). Follow these steps: 1. Before starting the Gemini Live conversation, set up a recording on a separate device: - Option A — Second device: Use another phone or laptop to record the audio from your primary device's speaker. - Option B — Google Meet: Start a Google Meet on a laptop (just yourself), turn on recording, then place your phone near the laptop mic and have the Gemini Live conversation. The Meet recording will capture both your voice and the model's audio responses. 2. Complete the Gemini Live conversation (Steps 2-3). 3. Stop the recording after the conversation ends. 4. Upload the recording to Google Drive. 5. Paste the Drive link to the recording in the "Video" column of the spreadsheet. 6. Also add the Sherlog Sharelink for the conversation in the corresponding column, if available. Step 6: Rate the Conversation Kindly make sure the recordings must be made in a quiet environment
