Weekly Update: Common Voice Dataset Release

Hello Common Voice Community

Last week some of our team have been hosting a workshop at Re: Publica on “Speak up! Exploring Decentralised Voice Assistant Futures through Speculative Design”. We discussed cultural to environmental factors affecting the future and the current usage of voice assistants.

Our 10th Dataset release will be tentatively out on the 6th of July!

We have come so far since the conception of the project - with a large thanks to our contributors.

Let’s make this dataset release special - I would like to encourage you to try 3 of the following methods of contributions shown in the image.

If you need any material support please check our community funding and events workshops.

Update: The cut of the period for contribution to the 10th Dataset will be Friday 24th June. This will enable us to create the dataset.
