<p>Common Voice is a publicly available voice dataset, powered by the voices of volunteer contributors around the world. People who want to build voice applications can use the dataset to train machine learning models.</p> <p>At present, most voice datasets are owned by companies, which stifles innovation. Voice datasets also underrepresent: non-English speakers, people of colour, disabled people, women and LGBTQIA+ people. This means that voice-enabled technology doesn’t work at all for many languages, and where it does work, it may not perform equally well for everyone. We want to change that by mobilising people everywhere to share their voice.</p>
<p> iCommon Voice idathasethi yamazwi aqoshiwe atholakala esidlangalaleni oluphethwe abaxhasi abavolontiyayo emhlabeni wonke. Abantu abafuna ukwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza zamazwi aqoshiwe bangasebenzisa lolulwazi lwamazwi aqoshiwe ukufundisa imishini.</p> <p> Okwamanje, ulwazi oluqoshiwe lwamazwi luphethwe izinkampani, lokhu cindezelela izindlela zokusungula.
