Re: [AUDITORY] apps for web-based listening tests



Hi Jan and List, 

I’d like to point you to a resource that you might find helpful in developed you web-based or other remote testing approach: The “Remote Testing Wiki” at https://spatialhearing.org/remotetesting

The Wiki is the result of activities by the Remote Testing Task Force, which was launched last year by the Acoustical Society of America Technical Committee on Psychological and Physiological Acoustics. It includes information about issues and practices for remote testing, a database of platforms that can be used to develop and deploy remote testing research, and a variety of other resources including brief reports of project experiences, bibliography of related works, and links to other online resources. 

The Platform Survey Database includes information that Jan could use to find and select platforms, including several Python-based approaches, that Task Force members and others have evaluated. 

Finally, the Wiki has a lot of information in it currently but is still growing. We still need help identifying and evaluating platforms the we might not know about yet. There are links for submitting new examples and platformsSo if you have experience with a platform (for example, Borys seems familiar with SenseLabOnline), it would be GREAT if you could visit the wiki and submit information about it. That goes for new platforms and for updating information about features of existing platforms. There is a simple survey tool that just takes a few minutes. 

Feel free to reach out to me (or better yet, via the contact links on the Wiki) if you have additional question.

Hello Jan,

Good to hear from you!

For paired comparisons, ABX etc. you might find SenseLabOnline interesting. It allows you to create a multidimensional design and prepare a simple graphical summary. You can also download the raw data in a JSON file for further analysis. However, it is very much a quality- and preference-evaluation tool, and except for the ABX it does not support the typical “performance-based” n-AFC tests with wrong and correct answers. Adaptive procedures are not an option either, since all the tests require pre-loading of wave files.

Hopefully other list members can suggest viable alternatives :)

All best,
Borys

Dear List!
 
I am looking for some web-based apps which allow to create listening tests. By creating listening tests I mean rather simple approach – like e.g. tests from Music Lab. Just playin’ stereo audio files, gathering responses and aggregate them in one file. One important feature is that it should be possible to create psychoacoustic tests like pair comparisons, 2AFS and so on.
 
Do you know any web-based platform for such thing? I’ve heard about BRAMS but never used it. I know Python and I know that I can use Django, but maybe there is something already prepared for such tests?
 
Thanks in advance for all comments!
 
Regards
