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.
说话是人类相互沟通最自然的方式。而语音技术把这种方便感带到了计算机与移动设备上。我们想让开发者能够打造效果极好的语音识别程序，比如实时翻译器和语音数字助理。但此刻，大多数打造这类应用所必需的语音数据都是私有且昂贵的。我们希望 Common Voice 提供的数据集能满足开发者所需，把语音技术带到他们所说的语言。
