Discussion of new guidelines for recording validation

Thank you for your feedback that some of the recording and validation guidelines do not reflect all languages. The CV site currently doesn’t support language-specific content but we are working towards launching this feature in 2022. In the meantime, we would still like to support people to understand what the guidelines mean in their own context.

Hey Irvin, thanks for highlighting this approach. As Bulent has mentioned unfortunately Pontoon has a 1-1 relationship in sentence translation and doesn’t give much flexibility for langauges that need more examples or bullet points.

Hey Nazar,

Currently, the validation criteria provide room for varying pronoucations however speech pathologies are not explicitly called out.

There is a risk that your clips could be incorrectly invalidated. Your contributions are valuable as we want to ensure that the ASR models can understand everyone.

Internally the Common Voice Team have been looking into how we can be more inclusive of people with varying speech pathologies. If you are interested in engaging with this please direct message me.
