- Abstract summary: Farmers form a diverse and international crowd of practitioners who use a common pool of agricultural products and services.
Online user feedback in this domain is limited, necessitating a way of capturing user feedback from farmers in situ.
Our solution, the Farmers' Voice application, uses speech-to-text, Machine Learning (ML), and Web 2.0 technology.

- Abstract: The farming domain has seen a tremendous shift towards digital solutions. However, capturing farmers' requirements regarding Digital Farming (DF) technology remains a difficult task due to domain-specific challenges. Farmers form a diverse and international crowd of practitioners who use a common pool of agricultural products and services, which means we can consider the possibility of applying Crowd-based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE) for DF: CrowdRE4DF. We found that online user feedback in this domain is limited, necessitating a way of capturing user feedback from farmers in situ. Our solution, the Farmers' Voice application, uses speech-to-text, Machine Learning (ML), and Web 2.0 technology. A preliminary evaluation with five farmers showed good technology acceptance, and accurate transcription and ML analysis even in noisy farm settings. Our findings help to drive the development of DF technology through in-situ requirements elicitation.
