The Common Voice Project is Mozilla's initiative to democratize speech technologies. The Makerere Artificial Intelligence (AI) lab together with Mozilla are working on the Luganda Common Voice project with the end goal of creating an open Luganda speech dataset
that will stimulate innovation and research around Luganda voice technologies in Uganda.
The Common Voice platform uses Luganda text sentences which are read out loud by the members of the local community which is managed by the Makerere AI research Lab. This dataset will be used to teach machines how real people speak Luganda.
The Luganda Common Voice is officially being launched today Thursday, 30th September 2021
Time: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Guest of Honour: Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga, The Katikkiro of Buganda
