Both of these projects are part of our efforts 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.
這兩個計劃都是我們努力糾正電子語音落差的一部份。語音識別技術可讓我們的電子裝置更人性化，但開發者需要非常大量的語音數據，才能打造出這樣的系統。目前大部分語音數據都相當昂貴，並受專有權限制。 我們想令語音數據能被公開自由地使用，並確保這些數據反映出我們大衆的多樣性。合衆人之力，我們可為大家將語音識別技術變得更好！
