about this issue when i arrived here, i slept with a sick of people in a room and it was hard. i wish fear. i even got white hair is learning the german language help. yeah. a lot this kids to me and craig, help us to maybe to interact with you want to know their story, my grants verifying and reliable information for my grants. ah, it does the internet represent all the world languages, language assistance and online translators are becoming more and more important.

but the systems don't know enough languages. some users are being left out. ah, the tires problem, we have with voice systems integrated into a mobile devices. i know computers is that really if they don't understand oh african exits, most times we find that people have to adjust their accent in order for the system to actually understand what does that say. and i chair studies the social impact of communication technologies and it's special adviser for africa, innovation at mozilla with a growing number of voice apps for computers and phones. she has seen that some uses are excluded because for example, their voice is have a different pitch with most of these technologies do not work well for marginalized groups. in particular

women. so you find that your voice system may be able to respond better to the men in the house. and then this leads to an aspect of exclusion. most of our devices are going to end up going into the voice direction and in a space of low digital literacy and low digital skills basin. people actually benefit from being able to speak to their device and getting back that information if they country to understand. and some of that takes that they buy with many apps are developed primarily for the u. s. market and are adapted to its languages and dialects. the big tech companies keep to their own datasets and neglect the need for diversity. janai chair wants to change that with me. the mozilla common voice projects is a project i was sit up with the aim, often democratizing voice and diversify the voice, say thus voice space. the purpose was actually to create open source data sets that

people could download and build products from. and be community driven to have diverse sets of languages available on the unmanned space. chairs, common voice team have built a platform where people can donate voice samples for datasets. the non profit mozilla foundation relies on community support. another aspect is that we encourage people who are anywhere in the world to actually den, validate these voice contribution. so if you don't want to have your voice on the platform, you can then go listen on to the platform and click. yes, it is correct. this person has read to the straight more than 75000 volunteers so far have recorded more than 13000 hours of individual spoken sentences. with these open source data sets, developers can train their applications to recognize specific languages and dialects to foster more languages. can i chair works with

a team of scholars in different countries. one is kathleen see, mean you a machine learning fellow for kiswahili living in kenya. we sat down with linguists from cannot, tanzania, ended g, r, c, which all countries back. he said these are national language and through working with them were beginning to understand what are the major accents that we should make sure we are able to recognize when we both ask chip of mission tools after english. the 2nd largest dataset is in kenya, our wanda spoken him or wanda and uganda. it is the basis for a coven 19 information that one of the technologies that we've seen come out of this project and is particularly exciting for me, has been bitten by a chat board that we work towards building in rwanda. this is a coven, 19 response. and chat, but that helps people who wanted to actually get information around the pandemic in

king or wanda french and english. i am having access to information in language you understand is so powerful for you to be able to be better place to respond to a situation. virgin i chair these systems are important tools for helping people become well integrated digital citizens. ah, countries, people and cultures that are not the focus of international tech companies are under represented in the digital world. while the internet is speeding up the death of languages, it could also help stop it as these creative projects show you studying i t in english is a challenge for andrew nikki, from uganda. textbooks and writings are not offered in his native language. lavonda, a new instant translator promises help. almost everywhere you

languages that are little used and generally poorly documented on the internet with huh. but many languages are still not supported by digital technologies, including icelandic. so in 2021, the university of reykjavik called on the public to input sentences into a database. this will be available free of charge to tech companies around the world. in the hope that iceland dick will be offered as a standard language on ticket products of iowa. jose, oh, it is vital to collect lots of data and texting as gifted and for speech recognition me, we need to collect data from lots of people. how could any griffith and get all sorts of icelandic into the database? sort of google ovo our school? no, we didn't use it to build speech recognition. if you need to foster you, there will be more than one sort of speech recognition brain mama over the planet balcony. to go with the cherokee. the largest indigenous population in north

america want to use smartphones to prevent their language from dying out. with cellphone maker, motorola, they have developed a smartphone interface in the syllabic language. for me, the fact that motorola and companies like them are utilizing the, the technology that they develop to really reach out and include and, and propagate a language or anything for a minority group. is to me a way to demonstrate, you know, that corporations can care to close the digital divide. technology must also align with the local populations, needs and features and ivory coast company has developed a smartphone, controlled by voice commands in the local language.
