<translate> I found out about the Common Voice project in 2019 through my PhD degree administrator Dr. Tom Denton from Google. We discussed a lot about how machines can be trained to work as human beings and that is how Common Voice emerged. The focus of the discussion was to develop a sound recognition engine and make it an open source. <swh>Nilipata kujua kuhusu mradi wa Common Voice mwaka wa 2019 kupitia kwa msimamizi wangu wa shahada ya Falsafa Dk. Tom Denton kutoka Google. Tulijadialiana mambo mengi kuhusu jinsi mashine zinavyoweza kufunzwa kufanya kazi kama binadamu na hivyo ndivyo Common Voice ilivyoibuka. Nia ya mjadiliano huo ilikua kujenga kutengeneza injini ya utambuzi wa sauti na kuifanya iwe chanzo wazi
