About the eVoweluate survey:

The eVoweluate survey is a research project focusing on the reliability and reproducibility of manual vowel measurements. Its goals are twofold.

• Quantitatively evaluate the quality of automated vowel analysis, specifically that produced by the FAVE suite.
  
• Determine the rate of inter-annotator agreement amongst experts studying vowels.
  

In order to do this, it will recruit researchers experienced in vowel measurement to measure the same 180 vowels extracted from the Philadelphia neighborhood corpus. The more people who participate, the better we can all understand the process of vowel measurement and its potential for automation.
