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.
Ukukhuluma indlela evamise ukusetshenziswa ukuxhumana nabantu kanti ubuchwepheshe bamazwi busenzela lokhu kube lula ngokusilethela lobuchwepheshe kumakhompyutha ethu nakomakhalekhukhwini bethu. Sifuna ukuxhasa onjiniyela ukuze bekwazi ukuwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza zamazwi aqoshiwe, njengabatoliki abasebenza esikhathini sangempela kanye nabasizi abakwazi ukukhuluma ngezinkundla ezidijithali. Okwamanje, ulwazi oludingekayo lokwakha amazwi izinhlelo zokusebenza zamazwi aqoshiwe ziyabiza futhi zinabanikazi. Siyathemba ukuthi iCommon Voice dataset izonikeza onjiniyela konke abakudingayo ukuze basungule futhi benze ubuchwepheshe bokukhuluma butholakale ngezilimi zabo.   Ukwenza ukuqoshwa kwamazwi butholakale jikelele, siqoqa iziqephu zamazwi angezilimi ezikhulunywa ngokubanzi nalezi ezikhulunywa imiphakathi emincinyane ezingavamisanga ukunakwa ezohwebo zokuqoshwa kwamazwi. Ukushicilela ulwazi oluqoqiwe olubanzi lwamazwi kuzoxhasa onjiniyela, osomabhizinisi nayo yonke imiphakathi yezindlela zokuxhumana ukunciphisa lesikhala.
