Why Are We Collecting Voices?
This app is designed to collect a wide variety of voice recordings of Chinook phrases from users like you. By gathering recordings from people of different backgrounds, ages, and accents, we can help build better speech technology that understands and speaks like real people.
Training Speech Systems
Your recordings will be used to train two types of systems:
- Speech-to-Text (ASR): This is a computer program that listens to your voice and writes down what you say. It's like talking to your phone and seeing your words appear as text.
- Text-to-Speech (TTS): This is a program that takes written words and turns them into spoken voice, so computers can "talk" to us.
What is ASR?
ASR stands for Automatic Speech Recognition. It means teaching computers to understand spoken words and turn them into written text. For example, when you use voice typing or ask a smart speaker a question, ASR is what makes it work!
Thank you for helping us build better, more inclusive speech technology!
