Abstract

What criteria for relevance do users apply when selecting a speech recording? What attributes of the recording do they rely on for each criterion? This paper proposes a qualitative research study design to explore those questions. A conceptual framework is presented, research questions are introduced, and the study design is described. The paper concludes with some observations on how the results of the study might inform the design of future systems.
