Data Validation (Per Speaker):

The purpose of this phase is to verify:

● Speaker Dialect: It should be Saudi; additionally, assistance is needed to identify the

specific Saudi dialect.
● Speaker Pronunciation.
● Tempo: Assessing the speaker's pace, determining if it's within the normal range or
unusually fast/slow.

The labeler will be provided with a few extended samples (10 - 20 seconds) or a YouTube link

to verify the speaker's voice.

Transcript Correction (Per Sample):

Correct transcription errors. Given an audio sample and its corresponding transcription,

correct any mistakes as accurately as possible.

● Add punctuations when appropriate. {, ! ? .} are enough for this phase.

● Punctuation rules may not always apply as speakers might not follow them precisely.
Punctuation should reflect the speaker's natural rhythm and tone.
● Commas can be added for pauses within sentences or to indicate new ideas.
● Question marks should be added for interrogative sentences.
● Exclamation marks can be added to convey strong emotions or forceful utterances.
● Numbers should be normalized, in case of number please write them in arabic
characters, Example:
‫ إﺗﻧﺎﺷر‬:12 ○
Foreign Words
In case of Foreign words:
● If the words can be written in Arabic please do it.
● If there is no way to write the foreign word in Arabic, then please ignore the sample.
● Don’t add {} or [], the transcript cannot contain any English characters.

Bad Sample Removal (Per Sample):

During the process, identify and remove:

● Samples with different speakers compared to the majority of samples.

● Samples with multiple speakers (overlapping or two individuals speaking).
● Samples with excessive noise.
● Samples with notably inferior quality compared to others.
● Samples with numerous pronunciation errors.
● Samples with excessive "Aaaa.." or “ummmm..” sounds.
● Samples with slang, dialectal variations, or non-standard grammar that are
notably different from the majority of samples.

Some Illustrative Examples

Voice: sample_link
Transcript: ‫ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻲ ﻛﻠﻲ اﻟﻣﮭم اﻧﺎ ﺟﯾت وراﺣﺔ دﺧﻠت اﻟﻣطﺑﺦ‬
Correction: ‫ اﻟﻣﮭم أﻧﺎ ﺟﯾت وراھﺎ و دﺧﻠت اﻟﻣطﺑﺦ‬,‫ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻲ ﻛﻠﻲ‬

● Here we note there are 2 mistakes, First mistake is “‫ ”وراﺣﺔ‬corrected to “‫”وراھﺎ‬, a 1 character
mistake, although the correct and wrong characters have the same pronunciation, but we
would prefer the 100% correct characters.

● Second mistake is the missing “‫”و‬, it’s not that obvious on the record, since speaker said it
fast, however, without it the sentence doesn’t make sense so you could tell there is a missing
“‫ ”و‬even if you think it’s not obvious in the record.

● Third mistake is “‫ ”اﻧﺎ‬because “‫ ”ا‬is supposed to be “‫ ”أ‬. This is important please keep that in
mind because it has totally different phonemes.

● You also note I have added a punctuation “,” because the speaker paused and changed the
subject to another subject, as well as her tone changed, so it was worth adding a comma.
