Title: Punjabi Audiobooks Project
Speaker: Jagseer S Sidhu
Abstract: The Punjabi Audiobooks Project from Wikisource aims to create a vast collection of audiobooks in the Punjabi language by utilizing the open-source content available on Wikisource. The project seeks to make Punjabi literature accessible to a wider audience by producing high-quality audiobooks narrated by skilled voice actors. The project involves collaboration with volunteers and community members to digitize, transcribe and record Punjabi literature from Wikisource.

The project seeks to preserve Punjabi literature and promote literacy by making it accessible to a wider audience through audio recordings. The project is expected to benefit Punjabi-speaking communities around the world, including those who may have limited access to printed literature. The project is being carried out in two different ways:
1. Creating audiobooks from Punjabi literature available on Wikisource: This involves collaboration with volunteers and community members to digitize, transcribe and record Punjabi literature from Wikisource.
2. Collaborating with Punjabi authors, voice actors, and recording studios: This involves creating new audiobooks in collaboration with Punjabi authors, voice actors, and recording studios to produce high-quality audiobooks that are not available on Wikisource.
