Wikispeech/Involvement
Get involved in Wikispeech!
Do you want to get involved in the work with Wikispeech?
Wikispeech will not work without the work of volunteers such as you. Wikimedia volunteers will be crucial to help implement, develop, evaluate and improve the beta feature. For adding new languages and voices to, and improving the functions of, Wikispeech, efforts by you and others will mean everything.
This page will be the gathering place for involvement in the project. Coordination, collaboration and communication will start from here. Add your name below, and you will be updated with all information you need to take part!

How can I be involved?
[edit]There are several possibilities for involvement in the Wikispeech project. In the beginning, communication and support will be most important, but the more the project proceeds, the more possibilities there will be. The red links below will become blue when the time has come!

Endorsement
[edit]- More than a dozen of people gave their explicit support already when the project started back in 2016, as an important way of, as one supporter put it, making "Wikipedia accessible to more people".
- A proposal for the Community Wishlist got more than 20 supporters, with a proposal that in practice is what Wikispeech would be achieving.
