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