In recent years, more and more multimodal corpora have been created.To our knowledge there is no publicly available tool which allows for acquiring controlled multimodal data of people in a rapid and scalable fashion.We therefore are proposing (1) a novel tool which will enable researchers to rapidly gather large amounts of multimodal data spanning a wide demographic range, and ( 2) an example of how we used this tool for corpus collection of our "Attentive listener" multimodal corpus.The code is released under an Apache License 2.0 and available as an open-source repository, which can be found at https://github.com/kth-social-robotics/multimodal-crowdsourcing-tool.This tool will allow researchers to set-up their own multimodal data collection system quickly and create their own multimodal corpora.Finally, this paper provides a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages with a crowd-sourced data collection tool, especially in comparison to a lab recorded corpora.
