[apologies for cross-posting]
Hi everyone, we have heard a lot from the community that the platform is sometimes inflexible in how you want to contribute and that it would be great to be able to make your own interfaces available alongside the canonical Common Voice web front end. This could be to motivate mobile contribution, or offline contribution – something we have worked on before – or it could be to get around translation issues, perhaps you have several ways of writing your language and want to support them all in the interface.
To support all of these use cases and more, we are delighted to announce that in July we will be launching a Public API for Common Voice to allow people to contribute directly from their own front ends. To support its adoption, we are launching a Developer Fund to help projects bring Common Voice closer to their communities.
You can find the call for proposals here and our team is happy to answer any questions you may have either here or by email at commonvoice@mozilla.com.
