I was at a Chuvash language and culture summer camp a couple of years ago on the Volga, just after Chuvash had been added to Common Voice. There was really spotty internet in the campsite, so we got everyone together around a building where the internet wasn’t too bad and recorded together there. This was not ideal as people could probably be heard on each other’s recordings, but it was the only solution without offline functionality or without better internet access.

من voici را به زبان انگلیسی متوجه نمیشوم. پیام را میتوانم بفهمم چون وفت میگذارم و معنی میکنم اما صدا و صحبت به زبان انگلسی را درست متوجه نمیشم و بعضی حرف ها را نمیتوانم به زبان فارسی معنی کنم:sleepy::disappointed_relieved::cry::pray::raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed::tulip:

Hi! I want to say that the unofficial app of Common Voice (“CV Project app”) permits to use the app also when there isn’t an Internet connection and in a future (in some months probably) we should add the “upload wifi only mode”.

This is a good alternative to contribute to Common Voice using low bandwidth (or nothing bandwidth at all) :smile:
I hope this could be useful to some users who want to contribute to the amazing project which is Common Voice!

There is also IPFS for storage in such cases. :slight_smile:
