Description

VoiceStick is the first French spontaneous speech corpus dedicated to voice-guided drone teleoperation. It was collected from 29 dyads of native French-speaking participants using an asymmetric guide-pilot paradigm in a mixed-reality setting. The corpus captures the natural dynamics of spontaneous vocal interaction in a real-time teleoperation task, including hesitations, reformulations, and prosodic variability.

The corpus comprises 4,219 utterances totaling 19,829 words, with a vocabulary of 669 unique words and 2,421 distinct spoken commands.
