4. Q&A

Review and improvements

General part

  • Remind possible usages : Wikimedia Websites, Language preservation, Language learning, Natural language processing (text2speech, speech2text)
  • The basics: this is a "recording project". We currently focus on words, but we can think and expand to more orality and knowledge related services.

Demonstration :

  • (Was so complete and systematic ! Merci Adélaide !)
  • by default, the limit is 380 every three days for newly created accounts. See LinguaLibre:Userrights for details. But! 380/hour for 4 days old accounts and an easy process to raise this significantly.
  • When you change the "stop threshold" 5 to record sentences, you have to move it down if you want longer audios.
  • But mainly, the "silence length" should be the single element to change.

Technical side :

  • Add lingualibre.org/datasets/ & talk about external usages
  • Remind possible usages : Wikimedia websites via bots, Language learning apps, Natural language processing (text2speech, speech2text).
  • "We think about more features and improvements that we can develop" (therefore we need devs). See Phabricator.
  • Do we have a long term strategy. What is our development vision (it's redundant with Adelaide request to define a long term )
