Mozilla Voice Challenge

Deadline: 2019-08-20
Award: $6,000
Open to: Everyone*

Voice-enabled products are rapidly penetrating both consumer and enterprise markets. The expectations are that in the near future voice interaction will become a key interface for people’s Internet-connected lives.

We want to open up the voice product development process, to make it transparent and accessible to everyone. The first two steps in this direction have been the Common Voice project, the compilation of a multilingual, open and publicly available dataset of labeled audio samples to be used to train voice-enabled applications, and Mozilla Speech open source projects (text-to-speech engine, and speech-to-text engine). Now, we’re taking the next step: we would like to identify and integrate a full plan to define the voice technology space by creating a “stack” of open source technologies to support the development of new voice-enabled products.
