Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #778
Hey there, Dr. Teri Fisher here and today I want to tell you a little bit about an initiative that’s going on right smack in the middle of voice technology and Covid_19 or the Coronavirus.
And I have to admit this initiative isn’t directly related to Amazon Alexa, however, I think it’s such an important thing that I wanted to bring it to your attention, knowing that the listeners of this flash briefing are interested in voice technology.
And here is the deal, there are a number of organizations, a number of companies, a number of researchers that are all right now looking at whether or not we can detect if somebody is infected with the novel Coronavirus by the sound of their voice.
And what they need to do to push this research forward is get a whole bunch of samples of people speaking whether or not you have the Coronavirus because they need to know what a person sounds like that doesn’t have the virus and what a person sounds like that does have the virus.
What a person sounds like that does have the virus.
And so I want to kind of put this out there as a public service announcement today to encourage you to go and check out a particular website where you have the opportunity to simply record your voice, it’s very, very simple.
And so the way you would do this is you simply go to the website, Voca.ai/Corona-virus, I’m going to say that again, Voca.ai/Corona-virus and when you go to that, then you will see it’s very simple.
You simply hit the record button, it’s going to ask you some questions, and you have the ability to contribute to this really, really important research.
Like I say, right in the middle of voice technology and what is going on with this pandemic.
So I encourage you to check it out, if you have your mobile phone handy and that’s connected to your Amazon Alexa account, then the card will have the link.
You can just click on that, it’ll take you there but however I’ll say that link one more time for you Voca.ai/Corona-virus.
I encourage you to become part of this really, really important research, okay?
Hope you’re doing well, take care and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
