Voice recognition technology is revolutionizing the way we interact with machines, but the currently available systems are expensive and proprietary. Mozilla Common Voice is an initiative to make voice recognition technologies better and more accessible for everyone. Common Voice is a massive global database of donated voices that lets anyone quickly and easily train voice-enabled apps in potentially every language.  We're not only collecting voice samples  in widely spoken languages but also in those with a smaller population of speakers. Publishing a diverse dataset of voices will empower developers, entrepreneurs, and communities to address this gap themselves.
Stemherkenningstegnologie verander die manier waarop ons met masjiene omgaan, maar die huidige beskikbare stelsels is duur en nie beskikbaar vir die breër publiek nie. Mozilla Common Voice is 'n inisiatief wat beoog om stemherkenningstegnologieë beter en meer toeganklik te maak vir almal. Common Voice is 'n massiewe wêreldwye databasis van geskenkte klankopnames waarmee enigiemand vinnig en maklik stemgeaktiveerde programme in potensieel elke taal kan oplei.  Ons samel nie net stemopnames in  in wydgesproke tale nie, maar ook in tale met 'n kleiner spraakgemeenskap. Die publikasie van 'n diverse datastel stemopnames sal ontwikkelaars, entrepreneurs en gemeenskappe bemagtig om hierdie gaping self aan te spreek.
