The first thing I noticed is that it asks me to make a yes-or-no judgment of whether the sentence was spoken &amp;quot;accurately&amp;quot;, but nowhere on the site is it explained what &amp;quot;accurate&amp;quot; means, or how strict I should be.&lt;p&gt;(The first clip I got was spoken more or less correctly, but a couple of words are slurred together and the prosody is awkward. Without having a good idea of the standards and goals of the project, I have no idea whether including this clip would make the overall dataset better or worse. My gut feeling is that it&amp;#x27;s good for training recognition, and bad for training synthesis.)&lt;p&gt;This seems to me like a major issue, since it should take a relatively small amount of effort to write up a list of guidelines, and it would be hugely beneficial to establish those guidelines &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; asking a lot of volunteers to donate their time. I don&amp;#x27;t find it encouraging that this has been an open issue for four years, with apparently no action except a bunch of bikeshedding: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;common-voice&amp;#x2F;common-voice&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;273&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;common-voice&amp;#x2F;common-voice&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;273&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s not &lt;i&gt;perfect&lt;/i&gt;, certainly, and it honestly isn&amp;#x27;t good enough yet for an accurate transcription in my mind, but it&amp;#x27;s good. Easy to work with, pretty good results, and all the right kinds of free.&lt;p&gt;Thanks for taking time to contribute!</text></comment>
