Speech is often the most natural way we communicate with each other and voice technologies are bringing that convenience to our computers and mobile devices. We want to empower developers to build amazing voice recognition applications like real-time translators and voice-enabled digital assistants. But right now most of the voice data required to build these kinds of apps is expensive and proprietary. We hope the Common Voice dataset will give developers what they need to innovate and make speech technology available in their own language.  To make voice recognition even more universal, we're collecting voice samples in widely spoken languages as well as those with a smaller population of speakers often underserved by commercial speech recognition services. Publishing a diverse dataset of voices will empower developers, entrepreneurs, and entire speech communities to address this gap themselves.
Lapawòl se souvan fason ki pi natirèl nou kominike youn ak lòt ak teknoloji vwa yo ap pote konvenyans sa nan òdinatè nou yo ak aparèy mobil yo. Nou vle pèmèt devlopè yo bati aplikasyon pou rekonesans vwa eksepsyonel tankou jan moun tradiktè yo fè'l an tan reyèl ak tankou asistan dijital ki travay ak vwa. Men kounye a pi fò nan done vwa ki nesesè pou bati kalite aplikasyon sa yo chè anpil e yon gent mèt pa yo. Nou espere ke seri done Common Voice la pral bay devlopè yo sa yo bezwen pou yo inove epi fè teknoloji lapawòl disponib nan pwòp lang yo.  Pou rann rekonesans vwa a vin pi inivèsèl, n'ap kolekte echantiyon vwa nan lang yo pale anpil ansanm ak moun ki gen yon popilasyon ki pi piti nan moun ki pi souvan yo pa sèvis rekonesans lapawòl ak pwodwi komèsyal chè yo. Pibliye yon seri done divès vwa pral pèmèt devlopè yo, antreprenè yo, ak tout kominote lapawòl yo abòde diferans sa nan mitan yo.
