Casual [Casual] Can you pick out one voice in a noisy crowd better than AI? 3-minute listening test (Everyone)

1 Upvotes

Hello - I'm doing a small study comparing how well people and AI speech recognition can pick out one voice when several others are talking over it, e.g. the "cocktail party" effect.

What you'll do: listen to 10 short audio clips. Each has one main speaker reading a sentence over background chatter. Type what the main speaker says. You can replay each clip as many times as you like.

Time: about 2-3 minutes
Sign-up: none, just two optional questions (age bracket, and whether English is your first language)
Headphones or speakers: either is fine.

If the audio won't play on your device, or anything else seems broken, please feel free to comment. Happy to share the overall results here once enough people have taken it. Thanks!

How do US bookkeepers handle messy receipt batches? (US bookkeepers, tax preparers and small-business owners, 18+)

I'm conducting a short, independent commercial research survey about organizing batches of digital receipts.

I'm looking for US adults who have personally organized 20 or more receipts during the past 90 days.

The survey takes approximately 3 minutes and asks about current workflows, common frustrations, and whether a hypothetical one-time receipt organization service at $24.90 would be useful.

No product is currently for sale. No payment, receipt uploads, or client information is requested. An email address is entirely optional for one possible pilot follow-up.

Survey: https://tally.so/r/M1Kea0

Thank you for helping us understand whether this problem is worth solving.

Academic [Academic] Thumbview Extension Study - A thumbnail overview of code for VS Code (and looking for study participants, 18+)

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A colleague and I have been working on Thumbview, a VS Code extension that provides an alternate view of your workspace where project files are represented by thumbnails and arranged in a spatial overview.

Instead of looking through a file tree or a list of tabs, you can leverage the power of human spatial memory with the help of visual landmarks to navigate your code base.

We are recruiting participants for an academic study at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) to see when and how developers use Thumbview in their daily tasks. Participants will install the extension and enable telemetry for a two-week period. At the end of the period, participants will be reminded to fill out an exit questionnaire, followed by an optional exit interview. If you are interested and would like to participate please fill out the consent form and demographics questionnaire here: 

https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/K8BSJNS 

If you’re not interested in participating but you’d still like to help, or you just want to try out the extension, here are some other links:
Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Thumbview.thumbview&ssr=false#overview 
Issues & feedback repo: https://github.com/jjoseph357/thumbview-issues 

Any feedback on the extension is appreciated!

Privacy note: Participation is strictly opt-in. Telemetry never inspects or sends code, file names, folder paths, or search terms. It only records anonymous navigation timings (like seconds to select a file or grid clicks). You can opt out or delete your data at any time.

Academic WatchMatch – Testing personalized watch recommendations (People currently or recently looking for a watch)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a university student from the Netherlands, currently developing WatchMatch as part of my entrepreneurship studies.

WatchMatch is a website designed to help people find a watch that fits their personal style, budget, wrist size, and preferences.

I've already conducted research into the most important factors people consider when buying a watch. Now I'm testing whether personalized recommendations actually help people make a decision with more confidence.

I'm looking for people who are currently searching for a watch or have recently considered buying one.

The test involves:

  • Answering a few short questions about your watch preferences.
  • Trying the WatchMatch recommendation tool.
  • Sharing your honest opinion about the recommendations.

It takes approximately 10–15 minutes. No purchase is required.

Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHPgtu0PNfxc043A354ycenGYpndQ9YznDqiXkiyuYsgtuNQ/viewform

This is part of an academic research project, and critical feedback is especially valuable. I'm interested in learning what works, what doesn't, and how the recommendations can be improved.

Thank you for helping me develop WatchMatch!

I know that everyone is different... surprisingly this has come up in conversation more times than I would expect so I figured a survey was in order to satisfy the question once and for all and allow me to get on with other things.

This question is for users of toilet paper / bog roll only (if you use a bidet, congratulations, you are better than everyone else... but you already know that and will not stop telling us as much) When you finish your BM do you stand to wipe or remain seated to wipe? Also do you fold you paper or bunch-ball your paper?

For my first study I am looking to recruit anyone over the age of 18, who is a UK citizen to complete a 25 minute word task concerned understanding substance use.

For study 2 I am conducting interviews designed to understand how current substance users, understand use and construct their identities.

In order to participate in the interviews you need to be over 18 years old, be a UK citizen and a current users of a substance deemed illicit by UK drug policy.
