The authors have developed an open-source tool for devices running the Android operating system to facilitate the efficient collection of speech data for Automatic Speech Recognition system development. The tool was designed for use in typical developing-world conditions; they present the relevant design choices and analyse the effectiveness of this tool by means of a case study. In particular, they introduce a novel semi-real-time quality monitoring system, which increases the efficiency of the data collection process.enSpeech resource collectionUnder resourced languagesAutomatic speech recognitionDeveloping worldResource scarce environmentAndroidOpen sourceASR dataInterspeech 2011Conference PresentationDe Vries, N., Badenhorst, J., Davel, M., Barnard, E., & De Waal, A.
