  1. There are literally 5 speakers labelled as transgender in the validated English Common Voice dataset. If you would describe your voice as trans, and you record a few sentences with a desktop mic, this might actually make speech recognition, transcription, and text-to-speech suck less for us.

  2. #CommonVoice

    The latest versions of Common Voice Scripted Speech (v26.0) and Spontaneous Speech (v4.0) are available.

    Bonus : Tashlhiyt (shi) is included in Spontaneous Speech 🚀

    Yeah. You're referring to Mozilla Common Voice ( commonvoice.mozilla.org )

    I believe that The HomeAssistant voice assistant uses it in a couple of ways, some non-obvious, ie not just for TTS. From memory, part of their voice recognition training comes from taking CommonVoice samples and adding all kinds of noise and distortion to them that would likely also happen in the real world (background noises, being muffled by objects etc), and then training on those distorted samples.

    I contribute occasionally. There's an app on Fdroid that makes it quick and easy.

    It's a great project and one I wish Mozilla would focus more on instead of all the other junk.

    Si tu as du temps/de l'envie pour du travail bénévole, y'a le projet #CommonVoice de Mozilla qui concerne directement la linguistique...

  6. #Mozilla #CommonVoice 25.0 veröffentlicht.

    Common Voice Corpus, der von Mozilla gepflegte, weltweit größte freie Datensatz menschlicher Stimmen, wurde in v25.0 veröffentlicht. Wir berichteten bereits mehrfach über dieses unter der #Creative_Commons #CCO-Lizenz stehende Projekt. Das seit 2017 bestehende Projekt Common Voice fördert damit den Markt der Spracherkennung alternativ zu den großen kommerziellen Anbietern wie Amazon, Apple, Google und Microsoft...

  7. This is why well-functioning open-source Datasets such as are so important ... Quote: Underlying that efficiency is a decision to build on existing foundations. IBM trained its speech model by modality aligning Granite 4.0 to speech on publicly available open-source corpora rather than building a separate speech stack.

  8. I'm looking forward to chatting with the good folks at #SLVlabs this Wednesday lunchtime about @mozilla #CommonVoice, linguistic diversity and the intersection of that with #GLAM - as well as @mozilladatacollective, ethical datasets and fair value exchange.

  9. Do you also want contribute to the Open Source movement?
    Don't know where to start?

    • write a new program in
    • C++
    • rust
    • Python
    • goLang
    • hunt for bugs and submit patches in existing programs
    • choose any OS you like freeBSD openBSD netBSD Linux (win64 is fine is you work mostly there) to code for

    You can't write programs (yet)?

    • We need translators of programs, many programs dont have enough locale translators for languages used in projects you also use
    • Interfaces to contribute are easy to follow

    Want one easy example?

    You must (have) use(d) google voice
    It's getting enshittified (makes more and more mistakes) and is NOT opensource

    Common Voice by Mozilla

    • Common Voice is Open Source
    • I contribute there (years)
    • You need a only phone
    • I contribute in three languages (ES NL UK EN)

    Don't just use Open Source software CONTRIBUTE!

    Make the movement more powerful!

    my stats are here (screencap)
    What are yours?

  10. La projekto Common Voice de Mozilla celas instui al maŝinoj kiel homoj parolas. Ĝi nun havas novan sekcion "Respondi Demandojn" kie oni libere respondas al demandojn anstataŭ nur laŭtlegi frazojn. Donacu vian voĉon nun por pligrandigi la esperantan datumaron!

  11. Aujourd'hui, notre mozillien @hellosct1 intervient dans un atelier de traduction au @capitoledulibre sur #sumo #pontoon #mdn #commonvoice Une occasion pour vous lancer dans cette thématique #cdl2025 capitoledulibre.org/programme/

  12. Either I'm completely misunderstanding something or commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/dat don't do persistent linking to neither specific versions nor specific languages. That is, I can't reference it in a scientific paper the way it is usually done in my field for language resources.

  13. With my #Mozilla Foundation #CommonVoice hat on, I'm delighted to be speaking in just under a fortnight at @pyconau about the #MozillaDataCollective, a new platform initiative that puts you in control of your #datasets.

    Better #AI requires better #data - and better data requires collective, collaborative, co-created approaches: the Mozilla Data Collective.

  14. Great write-up from the #BBC about #language preservation efforts in #Japan for the Indigenous language #Ainu, which has a dwindling speaker population.

    Commentary from my excellent #CommonVoice colleague, Associate Professor Fran Tyers.

  15. Writing this with my #Mozilla #CommonVoice hat on:

    If you would like some guidance on writing prompts for your language for Spontaneous Speech (speech data that is not scripted), we're holding some office hours this week:

    discourse.mozilla.org/t/sponta

    Massive h/t to my colleague @jessie for all her efforts on this.

  16. Has anyone here received this mail from Mozilla regarding commonvoice?

    Mozilla has always fought for an open, accessible internet that puts people in control — no matter the obstacles. Today, we need to share a significant challenge: Mozilla Common Voice is at risk of losing $1.05 million in U.S. government funding due to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's interference with science and technology grants.1, 2

    Mozilla Common Voice is the largest open, crowd-sourced speech recognition dataset, designed to make voice-enabled technology available to the world’s 7000 languages. This funding was meant to help expand our work over the next three years, letting us build features in response to community demand — like code-switching datasets and Indigenous language licensing. Now, we don’t know if we’ll receive any of that support.

    But we’re not backing down. We’re adapting our roadmap, staying nimble, and finding new ways to sustain this work. And we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re turning to you for support.

    Last year, 100,558 people contributed to Mozilla. That's an incredible show of support. If you've been waiting for the right moment to donate, now is the time. Your contribution will help sustain work like Common Voice and advance an open and accessible internet for all.

    Make a $10 USD contribution to Mozilla today to help build an internet that puts people first.
