Mozilla publishes the largest public transcribed voice dataset.
Mozilla makes available the largest set of human voices based entirely on crowdsourcing. The data set includes 18 different languages and adds up to nearly 1,400 hours of recorded voice data from more than 42,000 contributors.
From the outset, our vision for Common Voice has been to create the world's most diverse voice dataset, optimized specifically for the development of speech. We have also promised to make the dataset freely accessible so that start-ups, researchers* and anyone else interested in speech technologies can use the high-quality transcribed speech data we have collected.
Today, we are pleased to present our first multilingual dataset, covering 18 languages - including English, French, German and Mandarin (traditional), but also Welsh and Kabyle, for example. This new dataset contains a total of approximately 1,400 hours of voice recordings from more than 42,000 people.
With this release, the Common Voice record is now the largest of its kind, thanks to the support of tens of thousands of people who have brought their voices and written sentences to the Public Domain (CC0). The complete data set is now available for download on the Common Voice page.

Amazon Alexa transcripts live on, even after you delete voice records
You can delete voice recordings so Amazon can't listen to your conversations with Alexa anymore, but text records are a different story.

Algorthmic monitoring - EU develops interception platform with speech analysis and face recognition
Police authorities in the EU are to be given a powerful monitoring instrument. The system is to recognize persons in telephone conversations by their voice. But it also uses traces left by suspects in public places or on the Internet.
‼️ The rise of organised criminal networks in the European Union is facilitated by new travelling possibilities and new technologies. Fighting organised crime has become a top priority for European law enforcement agencies (#LEA). The EU-funded #ROXANNE project intends to combine new speech technologies, face recognition and network analysis to facilitate the identification of criminals. Specifically, ROXANNE will develop a platform that will increase agencies’ capabilities via #voice #recognition, #language and #video #technologies. The project will support LEA’s activities through multilanguage applications based on voice, text and face technologies. ROXANNE, in conformity with #Interpol and #EU #regulations, will be tested on real case data in nine EU Member States.

Project Alice
Project Alice is a smart #voice home #assistant that is completely modular and extensible. It was first built around Snips therefore runs entirely offline and never sends or shares your voice interactions with anyone, Project Alice guarantees your privacy in your home or wherever you’re using Project Alice.
However, as an option, since we've built Project Alice on top of Snips, Project Alice can be configured to use some online alternatives and fall backs (for example, using Amazon or Google’s Text to Speech engines), just like Snips. Since Snips (and the Project Alice team) strongly believe that decisions about your privacy should be made by you and you alone, these options are all disabled by default.
