One thing that wasn't entirely clear to me is how strict you have to be when validating? i.e. I encountered one recording that was completely silent - I figured that had to be marked as invalid. However, another one was barely audible, but by intently listening I did recognise it pronounced the right words - is that OK?

And should we validate whether they match the proper accents as well? e.g. if I hear a clear Dutch accent, I presume you wouldn't want that labelled "native British speaker"?
