All the single ladies! Er, those who are taken are welcome to help too. Basically, if you’ve got a set of ovaries pumping estrogen into your body, the folks at Cyanogen Inc. could use your help. In a Google+ post today, Cyanogen Inc announced that they’re currently looking for women to help fine tune the custom voice wake-up function on the OnePlus One.
This means they’re looking for female larynxes of all shapes and sizes to help submit voice samples, and although it’s not a paid gig, you can tell your friends you helped a vital software component in an upcoming smartphone come to fruition. Pretty cool, right? Here’s exactly what Cyanogen Inc. is looking for:
Audio samples should meet the following requirements:
# Must be female voice, age range 18-75
# Low signal to noise (less than 25db)
# No post-processing or normalization of any kind
# No noise cancelletion
# Audio should be submitted as a single file: mono, 24 bit / 96 khz
# For best results recordings should be conducted in a quiet environment with normal speech variations. No shouting or robotic voice (forced) speech.Script
# Start Recording
# Say: “Ok, OnePlus” ten times, with a 3 second delay in between each
# Select and read 4 random paragraphs from this link. (http://goo.gl/Nfva9d)
# Pause for 3 seconds.
# Say: “Ok, OnePlus” ten times, with a 3 second delay in between each
# End recordingIf you decide to take part, please submit the recordings to ciwrl (.at.) cyanogenmod.com (dropbox link, soundcloud url, attachment, etc).

Do Tranny’s count?
I was wondering that too. He did say if you have Estrogen pumping through your body, but he also said the ovaries had to be doing it.
I don’t know how the “transformation” works, but if it doesn’t use ovaries, I guess not.
What about brovaries?
Technically a man could do this then after eating some soy.
Anyone see “Her”?
I’m voting for Scarlett Johansson.
How is that movie? I want to see it.
I’d recommend it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was inventive, even if a bit predictable.
Movie: B
Voice: A
_Shrug_ I love the movie.
Your fancy Google+/Reddit formatting don’t work here, Derek. :P
Relevant:
I don’t think you understand why they are asking for this. It’s to calibrate the voice commands, not an audition for a Siri-like personal assistant.
Clearly it’s a joke smh
Yeah, it was half a joke, but you’re very pedantic!
