Let's get back to talking about Mozilla and more precisely of a Common Voice Project Contest For Android. If you remember well we have already talked about it in the past with the article Common Voice sprint. On that occasion we sponsored an event held one evening in November where anyone was free to participate to donate their voice and raise awareness of the project Common Voice Of Mozilla.
Always remember that for help projects Open source you don't have to be a programmer, there are many ways and this is one of many to help Mozilla!
But let's go in order.
What is Common Voice? What does it mean to give your voice to Mozilla and why would we want to do that? Common Voice is a speech recognition project open to anyone. Anyone 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).
Said papal papal: if you want a real alternative Open source and free to Google Assistant, Siri (Apple), Alexa (Amazon) e Cortana (Microsoft) this is the right time and way to succeed. As we saw in the article alternatives to Google Home something is moving but we are still quite far from having a truly open system available to everyone.
Common Voice Project contest: more prizes for a month of contest
So why are we talking about it again? Why Mozilla Italy decided to organize a new contest longer lasting and with more gadgets up for grabs. In fact, it will no longer be a one-night contest but the event will last throughout the month of April!
The rules
Participating is simple and fun. The rules are few and you can read them in full by clicking here. Basically you will have to download the application Open source 1 CV Project (on F-Droid or Google Play) and follow the steps in instructions to participate in the contest.
After that you just have to do two things:
- Register yours voice reciting the sentences that will be shown to you.
- Validate the registrations of other users by going to the section Listen.
To the 20 participants who have obtained the highest scores from 1 to 30 April they will receive some nice official gadgets for free Mozilla and of Mozilla Italy including: Firefox t-shirts, Mozilla bracelets, Mozilla Italia pins and lots of stickers!
A few words about the app
In our opinion they go waste a couple of words about the application CV Project. It is not an official application of Mozilla, was developed by an Italian and works really well.
Beyond the contest, And probably the fastest and most effective method to record your voice and validate that of others on your Android. So if you like the idea, give it a go for the entire month of April but then don't stop!
It will always be possible to use the application in downtime and perhaps take advantage of the contest to make it known to as many people as possible.
USEFUL LINKS
- Application Android to participate in the contest: available on Google Play, F-Droid, Huawei AppGallery, Amazon AppStore And GitHub (as .apk) under the name of Donate your voice: CV Project.
