 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Description:

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Do you know anyone involved in non-profit organizations in different
parts of the United States that need money? Here is an interesting
fund-raising opportunity for them. They would arrange to have their
members, and anyone else they know in their geographic region,
participate in a cellular phone speech data collection. Using their
cell phones, participants will call out toll free number and read
items from prompt sheets to our voice recording system. In return, we
will donate $5 to their organization for every caller who completes
the 10 to 15 minutes session, for a total of up to $3350.

The purpose of this collection is to build better speech recognizing
software. To achieve our goal we need to record samples of many
different people talking on a cellular telephone. The age and gender
of the callers must be balanced and they need to call from different
noise environments.
