== What is Common Voice == | == What is Common Voice == | ||
Mozilla Common Voice is an initiative to help teach machines how real people speak. | |||
This project is an effort to bridge the digital speech divide. Voice recognition technologies bring a human dimension to our devices, but developers need an enormous amount of voice data to build them. Currently, most of that data is expensive and proprietary. | |||
We want to make voice data freely and publicly available, and make sure the data represents the diversity of real people. Together we can make voice recognition better for everyone. | |||
You can contribute today on the [https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/ Common Voice]. | |||
== How does Common Voice work? == | |||
We’re crowdsourcing an open-source dataset of voices, to start and support languages on Common Voice the following steps are made. | |||
1. [https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice/issues/new?assignees=Heyhillary&labels=Type%3A+localization&template=language_request.md&title=LOCALIZATION+REQUEST%3A+ New language request] and localisation of Common Voice platform via Pontoon | |||
2. Collecting and validating public domain sentences via the sentence collector, sentence extractor or CC0 text waiver agreement. | |||
3. Recording and validating the recordings of the sentences on the Common Voice platform | |||
4. Repeating this process to grow the size of the | |||
5. Generating a dataset which is released by Common Voice team | |||
This dataset can then be used by developers to create voice-enabled technologies. | |||
== Common Voice Communities == | |||
Common Voice wouldn’t be possible without our language communities. As of September 2021, we have [https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/languages 80 languages] launched for voice data collection. | |||
Language community members and organisers; mobilise participation, provide valuable feedback and inspire us as a team. Our [https://common-voice.github.io/community-playbook/ Community Playbook] outlines how communities participate in Common Voice. | |||
To support our communities our two main channels are [https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/voice discourse] for group and topical discussions and [https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#common-voice:mozilla.org matrix] for community chats. Our communities also have their own communication channels to help with [https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice/blob/main/docs/COMMUNITIES.md self-organising]. | |||
