Contributors will record 1,000 short videos in ASL or BASL, adhering to setup instructions and project timelines while working independently.
Project Description
We’re running a video data collection study to record American Sign Language (ASL) and Black American Sign Language (BASL) videos. Participants will record short, voice-assistant-style commands (everyday phrases, common requests, conversational prompts) to help AI systems better understand signed requests.
This work directly supports more inclusive technology for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing users. Each participant will complete 1,000 short videos, most around 10 seconds or less, recorded at home on an Apple device.
Responsibilities
- Record 1,000 short videos following provided ASL or BASL prompts
- Follow setup instructions (sitting/standing, device placement, lighting)
- Upload videos and participate in onboarding and periodic check-ins
- Work independently while meeting project timelines
Requirements
- Fluent in ASL or BASL, or at least 2 semesters of college ASL
- Use ASL or BASL daily
- Minimum proficiency in reading and writing English
- Access to an Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or iMac)
- Reliable internet connection
- Comfortable using device/camera and following step-by-step instructions
- Additional tools/software may be provided if needed (e.g., MacOS foot pedals for hands-free recording)
