General thoughts on getting kid/underage voices:
The basic idea is:
Starting a pilot project in selected school(s).
Locally in the school, online via internet to local cv server, both ways???)
(with official funding by the state/governnent???, funding by moz foundation???)
I learned from some reports that there are reading contests in the U.S. (reading bee, if i remember correctly).
Not the contest itself, but the time of preparation for these reading contests would be interesting for cv.
CC0 sentences are presented to the underage contributor from a local cv server in the school and saved on a local cv server in the school.
Cv/Moz is creating a form to fill out for the parents to give permission that their kids are allowed to contribute to cv.
If this pilot project is offically funded by state/government this filled out permissions stay in the school (teacher who is supervising, or school office)
If not officially funded, it is saved (encryted) in local cv server (proof of permission for cv) Two mature email accounts (parents) are required to activate the account for the underage contributor (child/teeny for contributing online at home)
In a later process a decision is required:
Release this as kids database only or include the underage clips to cv main corpus.
As stated in some posts in this thread before:
Kids voices are also natural. They also use voice assistants with (actual) mixed results. Avoiding (possible) problems is not the solution!
It is also very clear to me the efforts to start this pilot project within cv and state/government involved would be MASSIVE!
This proposal is in direction to the “legal team” and/or moz foundation.
This could be a way to save and release underage clips LEGALY!
