Multilingual Data Collection in Chennai
Parallel programmes across several Indian languages at once, run to one specification so the resulting datasets are comparable rather than a set of incompatible deliveries. In Chennai, this runs from our local studio setup: Treated booth with dual-channel conversation capability.
