Abstract[edit source]

Audio-record voices and vocabularies of local languages using LinguaLibre : results, limits, what next ?

Description[edit source]

The diversity of world languages, their words, expressions, voices, are poorly documented and accessible. Lingualibre.org allows us to record languages vocabulary at large scale, in an easy and quick fashion. After 5 year of action and 800,000+ recordings, we would like to share past progresses and discuss future actions, most notably toward linguistic minorities.

Outline: - Demo of the tool (10mins) - Stated objectives - Current progresses - Limits & biaises
