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.

Twelve Million Phones, One Dataset, Zero Privacy
Every minute of every day, everywhere on the planet, dozens of companies — largely unregulated, little scrutinized — are #logging the #movements of tens of millions of #people with #mobile #phones and storing the information in gigantic #data #files. The Times #Privacy #Project obtained one such file, by far the largest and most sensitive ever to be reviewed by journalists. It holds more than 50 billion location pings from the phones of more than 12 million Americans as they moved through several major cities, including Washington, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Each piece of #information in this file represents the precise location of a single #smartphone over a period of several months in 2016 and 2017. The data was provided to Times Opinion by sources who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to share it and could face severe penalties for doing so. The sources of the information said they had grown alarmed about how it might be abused and urgently wanted to inform the public and lawmakers.
After spending months sifting through the data, tracking the movements of people across the country and speaking with dozens of data companies, technologists, lawyers and academics who study this field, we feel the same sense of alarm. In the cities that the data file covers, it tracks people from nearly every neighborhood and block, whether they live in mobile homes in Alexandria, Va., or luxury towers in Manhattan.
One search turned up more than a dozen people visiting the Playboy Mansion, some overnight. Without much effort we spotted visitors to the estates of Johnny Depp, Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger, connecting the devices’ owners to the residences indefinitely.
If you lived in one of the cities the #dataset covers and use #apps that share your# location — anything from weather apps to local news apps to coupon savers — you could be in there, too.
If you could see the full trove, you might never use your phone the same way again.
