Let's talk about a project Mozilla certainly known to those in the sector but perhaps totally unknown, unfortunately, to many other people. Common Voice it is in fact a project of Mozilla to create systems based on voice technology. Common Voice sprint it is an event that invites everyone to donate their voice or to validate voices already recorded!
If you remember well, we have already mentioned the project Common Voice in our article Help projects Open source without knowing how to program.
The operating mechanism is really very intelligent and at the same time very simple.
How does it work?
Common Voice in fact it is a voice recognition project open to anyone. The beauty of it is precisely this: everyone can participate and there is no need to know how to program or have particular technical knowledge. Anyone can help this project by going to the site commonvoice.mozilla.org/it and decide whether to help validating the registrations made by someone or if wants to give his voice (which someone will then have to validate).
As you know, when we talk about automation and voice recognition, only companies that use closed source products come to mind. In fact, we all know it Google Assistant, Siri (Apple's voice assistant) e Cortana (Microsoft voice assistant).
Common Voice sprint in Italian
Unfortunately, however, as you can see, there is a lack of reality Open source (even if something like Mycroft exists, we saw it in alternatives to Google Home). The project of Mozilla Common Voice he wants to create systems based on vocal technology but to do so he needs a very large quantity of samples. And this is where users and all of us come into play by donating and recognizing voices.
