Project Details
We’re inviting native Sylheti speakers to take part in a paid voice recording project. The recordings build speech datasets that help AI understand Sylheti — a language spoken by millions, yet recognised by almost no voice technology today.
Here’s the honest version: right now, no voice assistant understands Sylheti . Not Google, not Siri, none of them. That only changes when enough native speakers record their voice properly, in one place. The task itself is simple — record short prompts from home using your phone and submit through our app. Someone from our team guides you the whole way.
🧩 What you’ll do
Read speech
- Short Sylheti sentences appear one at a time — read each aloud, naturally.
- Each is about 5–12 seconds. One sentence, one recording.
- Topics: daily life, local news, culture, current affairs.
- No sentence repeats in your session.
Conversational speech
- Have a normal phone conversation in Sylheti with a partner.
- Both sides are recorded separately.
- No script — just talk the way you normally would.
📋 This is for you if
- Sylheti is your mother tongue — you grew up speaking it at home.
- You’re in West Tripura, near the Bangladesh border.
- You’re between 18 and 55 — every age in that range is welcome.
- You’ve got a quiet indoor spot and a phone to record on.
- Men and women both needed.
That’s all. No experience, no special gear.
🔐 Your privacy, handled properly
- You sign a clear consent form before anything is recorded — no surprises.
- Your name and personal details are never published or shared outside the project.
- You can pull out any time before the final data is delivered.
- We only collect the basics: age group, gender, district, state, and device type.
