ok so how would you like to be part of ''siri', 'Alexa' or google speak, or any future voice recognition software of the future ? The mozilla foundation is looking for english speakers with all different accents to donate a recording of your voice. To help voice recognition software become better. All you gotta do is visit https and speak a few sentences. Your voice will be added to a database for developers to use in their VR apps ![]() |

@tranie | 20 July 17 |
the idea is they need different accents so if you got a broad accent then they will love it.

Or can you stuff like ''fu*k off I'm busy'' imagine siri doing that, like ''you do ask a lot don't you'', that would be more realistic.

no payment as its an open source thing meaning the database will be open for anyone to use free of charge. They provide the sentences for you to read. Who knows in a year or 2 when a new voice recognition app comes out your voice may be part of the database ?

Mine varies. I first developed a brum accent, as I was born in Birmingham, to brummie parents. But by the time I was 5yo I was down here with a lone parent. Over the years my Londoner mates turned my accent. Now I just sound like a southern commoner - until I'm with someone with the accent, and then it just goes haywire on its own accord, and they think I'm taking the piss outta them. Mike Skinner, of The Streets, is the same. |
