Class:
For this week’s assignment you will be preforming some hands-on analysis of voice/speech analysis. Follow the steps below and keep notes as appropriate in your word document/lab report.
Step 1: Go to the Speech and Hearing Center website WASP tool
Step 2: Record the following three sentences slowly and clearly, the button at the top called “Record” will record from your microphone on your computer, you may need to grant permission.

Step 3: Select the “Save” button in the top toolbar to save the full recording locally.
Step 4: You will need to filter the recording to just the following words, “cats and dogs each hate”.
a) This can be done by using the left and right mouse clicks in the Amplitude Section.
b) You click “Play” to listen to the recording. And you can judge based off of natural breaks in speech which section is each word/sentence.
c) Using the left mouse click you can set the starting point in the Amplitude Section. Test your starting point by clicking “Play” to ensure you got it placed correctly.
d) Using the right mouse click you can set the ending point in the Amplitude Section. Test your ending point by clicking “Play” to ensure you got it placed correctly.

Step 6: Repeat the above process a second time, but with a variant, such as later in the day, when you first wake-up, after drinking some coffee, after yelling at your kids, etc. Again save the wav file locally notating it as the second try and likewise with the three screenshots as well.
Step 7: Repeat one final time again using some variant and again saving the proper files and screenshots with the notation of third try.
Step 8: Now that you have the three screenshots for each of the three recordings you will want to do come basic visual analysis and answer the following questions.
a) Did your voice, tone, pitch, etc. change between the attempts?
b) What amount of variation did you see between the attempts?
c) Do you think that speech authentication should require a 100% match or do we need to have some leeway and if we need that leeway does it reduce the security of the system?
Step 9: Submit your word/lab document along with the three wav files to this dropbox for grading.
You must support your conclusions, observations, assertions, implications etc with at least ONE scholarly reference as well as include an in-text citation. Additionally, ensure you include a SEPARATE title page. Lastly, ensure you are using APA standards.

What were some actions that the companies could have taken to prevent the violation of rights as determined by the EEOC?

As we have learned thus far, most businesses in the United States with 15 employees or more are legally required to meet the regulations enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC). These requirements, which were born out of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are designed to protect employees and ensure equal footing in the workplace for all. However, because some job openings attract many applicants, complying with the various requirements can be a significant undertaking for large and small businesses alike.
In the EEOC Files Seven Suits Against Harassment (U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) (Links to an external site.) article, the organization details the causes for the filing of seven lawsuits against various businesses in 2018. Please review the article and the cases described therein. Then, using the Hunt Library, identify at least two scholarly sources (e.g. peer-reviewed journal, book published by a reputable source) that identify criteria used to determine EEO and Affirmative Action compliance.
Using the sources you have identified in the Hunt Library for support and reference, please address the following questions in a current APA formatted, 250-500 word (in the body) paper:
What were some actions that the companies could have taken to prevent the violation of rights as determined by the EEOC?
What are examples of damages awarded to complainants in cases similar to those mentioned in the EEOC article?
What are some actions that you would take as a Human Resource Manager to prevent some of the allegations detailed in the lawsuits described in the EEOC article?
Your paper should be written in a scholarly format (title page, body, reference page) and include at least two scholarly (peer-reviewed) references.
