<translate> Our idea was motivated by a previous project that used a Telegram bot to interact with users and provide basic services in low internet connectivity conditions. Telegram is widely used in Ethiopia so we wanted to tap into the existing user base. We hope that this project motivates and enables Ethiopians to donate their voice in the various spoken languages. We also hope that the project inspires other developers and tech enthusiasts to contribute and use Common Voices data set to design voice interaction models for African languages. We believe this will make technology more accessible, contribute to de-biasing AI, and overall reduce the technology gap. <swh>Wazo letu lilichochewa na mradi wa awali ambao ulitumia boti ya Telegram kuingiliana na watumiaji na kutoa huduma za kimsingi katika hali duni ya muunganisho wa intaneti. Telegram inatumika sana nchini Ethiopia kwa hivyo tulitaka kugusa msingi wa watumiaji uliopo. Tunatumai kuwa mradi huu utahamasisha na kuwawezesha Waethiopia kuchangia sauti zao katika lugha mbalimbali zinazozungumzwa. Pia tunatumai kuwa mradi utawahimiza wasanidi programu wengine na wapenda teknolojia kuchangia na kutumia seti ya data ya Common Voice ili kubuni miundo ya mwingiliano wa sauti kwa lugha za Kiafrika. Tunaamini kuwa hii itafanya teknolojia kufikiwa zaidi, kuchangia kuondoa upendeleo wa AI, na kwa ujumla kupunguza pengo la teknolojia.
