Audio Annotation Tasks

This category contains annotation task designs for audio and speech processing research, including transcription, speaker identification, and audio classification.

Run these designs in Potato. See the audio annotation documentation to configure waveform playback and transcription tasks.

Annotation Features

Potato draws the waveform so annotators can see amplitude over time, and gives them play, pause, seek, and speed controls. Annotators mark start and end times for speech turns, and the player handles files with more than one audio channel.
