Treasure Hunters is the first version of our serious game for speech training in speakers with neurological conditions. Treasure Hunters is part of the CHASING project that investigated the potential of game-based speech training for neurological patients through a combination of gaming and advanced speech technology, incl. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The effects of our game were tested during a speech training intervention by collecting inexperienced listener judgements on speech intelligibility before and after the intervention. In the associated publication we describe our research into the effects of our game on speech intelligibility. This data collection contains the recordings that were used in our experiment to collect untrained listener ratings on speech intelligibility, immediately before and after the two compared speech interventions. It also contains the listener judgments, results of a user satisfaction and preference questionnaire.
