Todayâs voice-enabled devices are inaccessible to many because they cannot understand most languages, accents, and speech patterns. Unique voices like yours will help bridge this divide.
We have set an ambitious goal of 500,000 new voice donations over the next 2 weeks â will you help? Yes, Iâll contribute my voice |

Dear Mozilla Supporter,
Over the next decade, speech will become the primary way people interact with a whole range of internet-connected devices â from laptops and phones to digital assistants and retail kiosks.
Todayâs voice-enabled devices, however, are inaccessible to much of humanity because they cannot understand many of the worldâs languages, accents, and speech patterns.
Weâre working to close that gap through our community-powered project, Common Voice. And today, weâre launching a drive to achieve 500,000 new voice contributions to our Common Voice dataset over the next two weeks.
You can help us achieve this ambitious goal and, together, weâll help teach machines how real people, from all over the world, speak.
Ready to contribute your voice? Here's how it works: Go to Common Voice. Press the Record button. Read out the sentences on the screen â it just takes a few seconds! You're done! Want to record more? Do as many as you like!
The Common Voice project has built a large, publicly-available voice dataset that will foster innovation in the voice-enabled technology wave of the future. Itâs already the worldâs largest public domain voice dataset, with more than 12,000 hours of voice data and 75 different languages. And itâs already powering impactful tools like a Covid-19 chatbot for people in Rwanda, and many other tools around the world.
When you contribute your voice, youâll be helping us make the data more representative of people across the world and, in turn, make the whole dataset more useful for the innovators who wish to use it.
So please contribute your voice today. Or, you can also lend an ear and help validate voices.
Thank you for contributing,
Hillary Juma
Common Voice Community Manager
