Common Voice at FOSSASIA'18

My First International talk 

As a part of Mozilla Representative program, I got an opportunity to present my talk at FOSSASIA 2018, one of the largest open source conference in Asia.

I spoke about Common Voice Project, my talk covered with Mozilla and its mission, Deep speech and Baidu Algorithm, About Common Voice and ways to get contributed.

FossAsia 2018, organized at Life Long Learning Institute, had the best pool participants and speakers from different parts of world, with different domains expertise. It was an awesome opportunity meeting like minded people and get to learn from them.

The reason for my present my talk is to “In 2018, one of our main goals for Common Voice is to start supporting multi-language, as well as increase our contributions. Because of this, we need to spread the message of Common Voice as far as possible. Showing up at FOSSASIA will allow us to better reach open-source minded developers in Asia. “


When I asked the people, “What do you know about Mozilla apart from Browser”, it was nice to hear unique responses from every one about the Mozilla Projects.

Started with introduction to common voice, why it is necessary to have Data sets open to everyone and multi-language support. Then, I have presented ways to get contributed like record, validate, add sentences, code and reporting bugs.

It was nice to see the people who wants to work on the speech recognition system model are liking to use the common voice data model and get contributed.





At last we had a QA , where most of the people asking about multi language and data model.

Last but not the least, my sincere thanks to the @Henretty from Common Voice team for supporting my talk and helping the content for talk.
