Hi,


It just ocurred to me that we should disseminate this in facebook and spam our "friends" to help reading those sentences in their languages.

A few questions arose here... firstly, we would incurr in the problem of having some prakers submitting in languages that they don't really speak (reading just for fun? duh).

Secondly, I'm not sure how these "casual" users would commit to seriously contributing with valuable input data; i.e. setting the microfone right, reading well, etc...

Anyone else thought about this? I know it's a good initiative but...

From my experience people are quite resistant to make speech donations (it's the only private thing left nowdays :))

But for sure we can use facebook for different things like we can create a Voxforge network there or create a cause like GNOME recently did:

Voxforge group at identi.ca?

"create a Voxforge network" - such a network would be good. What about the idea of creating a group called "voxforge" at identi.ca?

Hi Ralf,

Not really familiar with identi.ca (seems like a Twitter clone...)

If you are interested in setting something up, it would be very much appreciated,

thanks,

Ken

Yes, not everyone uses everything, but more groups could help.

Let's join VoxForge group on facebook btw:

We get that now... however, it takes a bit of effort to do this since you need to record all ten prompt lines before the upload icon even appears, so that seems to dissuade most pranksters.

>I'm not sure how these "casual" users would commit to seriously

>contributing with valuable input data;

Whenever someone puts in their username, there is a good chance that the submission was done properly; "anonymous" submission are all over the map... some are very good, others not so good.
