Improve speech recognition in the world
In 2019, we launched Project Euphonia to find ways to make voice recognition more accessible to people with non -standard speech. Now we support developers and organizations around the world because they bring this work to even more languages and cultural contexts.
New developer resources
To improve the ecosystem of tools on a global scale, we provide developers with our open source benchmarks via the project githonia page of the project. They can now develop personalized Audio tools For research or form their models For various speech patterns.
Support for new projects in Africa
Earlier this year, we have teamed up with Google.org To provide support for the University College in London in their creation of the Center for Digital Language Inclusion (CDLI). The CDLI strives to improve voice recognition technology for non -English speakers in Africa by creating open source data sets in 10 African languages, creating new voice recognition models and continuing to support the ecosystem of organizations and developers in this space.
