Past Projects
Telephony:
Collected calls from several hundreds of U.S. Spanish speakers from across the U.S. Speakers were asked to read from a script for 60 minutes. SoS collected all voice recordings within a month. 
Kids Speech:
SoS was granted access to Boulder Public Schools and recorded and transcribed hundreds of hours of elementary school children reading and summarizing from books.    Recently we have collected several hundered children's voices to improve speech recognition for a major video game platform.
Car Collection:
Performed a dialectally balanced collection of 400 U.S. speakers in a variety of driving scenarios using a fleet of cars- in ONE month!
Foreign Language:
In addition to many French and Spanish telephony collections we have collected hundreds of hours of conversations of Iraqi natives speaking in conversational speech with native and non-native speakers.  SoS has also recently collected thousands of speech samples from U.S. Spanish Speakers from across the U.S.
Databases:
We collected over 400,000 messages online from thousands of participants in the U.S. and Canada (French Canadian) for an SMS collection to help create the next generation of SMS messaging.
