TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that collect unscripted natural speech utterances.

BACKGROUND

Natural speech dialogue utterances are useful for training a neural network to understand conversations and other interactions. Existing methods for collecting data associated with natural speech includes individual users reading scripted textual passages. However, these approaches that use scripted text are not natural and do not necessarily represent natural speech dialogue in an actual, spontaneous situation. Training a neural network with speech utterances related to scripted text may not effectively analyze or process actual speech dialogue in an actual conversational situation.
