The Ukrainian startup Respeecher, which is engaged in artificial voice generation, will teach world services to speak Crimean Tatar, the company’s PR manager Orysia Khymiak said on Facebook.
“We need to collect 1000 hours of audio in the Crimean Tatar language. All kinds of chatbots, such as Siri and Alexi, sometimes Ukrainian is not well recognized. For the Crimean Tatar, such an AI model, unfortunately, has not yet been trained. We will correct this matter”,- Orysia wrote.
To help a startup, you need to send or attract those who are fluent in Crimean Tatar. We also need people who can/have studio recordings they don’t mind sharing. Even audio made with an iPhone recorder will do. The main thing is that there is no noise in the background. Upload audio you need to fill out the form.
