VoxForge ( http://www.voxforge.org ) is a open source project that collects speech recordings for use in the creation of Acoustic Models. Speech recognition engines need an acoustic model to recognize speech. To create an acoustic model, you take a very large number of speech audio recordings and 'compile' them into statistical representations of the sounds that make up each word. Most open source speech recognition engines use 'closed source' acoustic models. VoxForge hopes to address this problem by creating a free gpl speech corpus, and generating acoustic models from this corpus. You can now use your telephone to your donate your speech.
