Padding: Minimum one second before and after the utterance (not a hard reject if the words are not truncated).

Rejection Criteria:
Non-native speech
Noisy recording environment
Text-audio mismatches (adding, subtracting, or repeating words from the defined phrase)
Unnatural speech such as long pauses or a “sing-song” manner of reading
Incorrect or unnatural pronunciation
Acoustic issues such as microphone issues, loud static noise
A participant does not meet the minimum number of approved phrases
Background Noise: None (Quiet, indoor). The general rule of thumb is if the Background noise obscures the participant's voice or is higher than the participant’s voice then it would be rejected.
