Re: Project Common Voice
#2And... 503'd. I didn't catch what the intended use case was before it died, but I'm guessing computer generated voice?
Most of the computer generated stuff I've seen uses trained actors. Which neatly avoids the problem of trying to reconcile a myriad of accents and dialects, which was immediately apparent from the first two samples I tried.
edit: back up, seems to be about voice recognition, which this could help with no problem.

Actually, based on the site content I think they're using it to create an archive of speech data to train speech recognition systems.

Site works fine from my location.
I think you are correct.
> Read a sentence to help our machine learn how real people speak. Check its work to help it improve. It’s that simple.

#6Any plans for languages other than English?
Re: Project Common Voice
#7Cool project, really aligned with the mission of Mozilla, and with a pleasant UX. And if you're a non-english speaker like me validating sentences is a nice way of improving your comprehension.

#8Is the data going to be freely available as well? It's a little unclear whether they intend to make it separately available or not.

#9This looks great!
I use voice control to program on occasion due to an rsi injury. The standard stack for this is a mess due to closed source systems that aren't designed for voice programmers.
A good open solution could really save me from a lot of headaches.

It looks like the database will be open sourced later this year: https://voice.mozilla.org/faq
I'm wondering if the format will be easily translatable to the kinds of models that software like CMUSphinx and Julius use
