LinguaLibre:Om

Lingua Libre er et lydinnspillingsverktøy og lydbibliotek designet av wikimedianere for å forbedre flere Wikimedia-prosjekter (Wiktionary, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata…).

LinguaLibre.fr er en massiv åpen lydinnspillingsplattform og webapp ment å gjøre det enklere å spille inn ordlister eller tekst til rene, tilpassede og appvennlige lydfiler. Den er designet for å gjøre det enklere å skape konsistente datasett med lydfiler. Vi mener det er det beste verktøyet for å skape datasett med noen dusin til flere tusen lydfiler. Innspillingsproduktiviteten kan nå opptil 1000 lydinnspillinger i timen når man har gode ordlister og en erfaren bruker. Lingua Libre har fått «Project Grant»-støtte fra Wikimedia Foundation og drives av Wikimédia France. I dag brukes det aktivt av Wikimedia-brukere og vedlikeholdes av drevne ildsjeler som et prosjekt med åpen kildekode.

Project's history

• Shtooka Recorder (2010) by Nicolas Vion - a notable desktop software which had a deep impact on the open audio recording ecosystems. Hundreds of applications use data produced by this software.

• SWAC Recorder (2013) by Nicolas Vion - a revamp of the earlier, lesser known but easier to install, with better user experience.

• LinguaLibre.fr v1 (2016) by Nicolas Vion - a cloud variation of the earlier versions, the project was funded by Wikimedia France (Remy Gerbet & user:Lyokoï), and create with feedbacks from local linguistic academics. The grant is associated with the project to record and preserve dying French minorities languages. In French only, this platform was demoed to the global Wikimedia community, and demonstrated the need for a v2.

• LinguaLibre.fr v2 (2018) by 0x010C - a full rebuild, based on MediaWiki, using Wikibase and OAuth login for a better integration with the Wikimedia ecosystem. Can be used by the whole community thanks to an user interface available in many languages. The clean, sharp, well named audio files produced ease the creation or enhancing of various derivative applications. Both language learning and language preservation are common use cases. About half of the estimated 7000 human languages are endangered, many other are threatened by the raise of few state-sponsored macro languages.
