• Speaker metadata, informed consent forms

While recording, keep track on mistakes, hesitations or any changes the speaker does to the text while reading!!!

Storing:

• Where to store a) speech data and b) metadata

Pre-processing:

• Aligning speech data and text on phoneme level (use WebMAUS)
• Filename system - consistency!
• A big data table showing the content and information of EACH FILENAME
• Allows mass renaming and other mass python operations to be done to the files
