audio_file - audio file name
duration_ms - duration of audio in milliseconds
prompt_id - numeric id for prompt
prompt - question for user
transcription - transcription of the audio response
votes - number of people that who approved a given transcript
age - age of the speaker1
gender - gender of the speaker1
