Let's support the preservation of the Estonian language together!

The Government of Estonia announced its latest initiative to improve accessibility to digital services by using speech-to-power AI-driven virtual assistants. The campaign’s “Donate speech” aim is to improve the sophistication of its AI-driven virtual assistant Bürokratt to support citizens in communicating with public agencies and using its services. 

The “Donate speech” project invites all Estonian-speaking people to donate their speech, thereby contributing to the preservation of the Estonian language and the faster delivery of speech technology solutions to our everyday lives. People who speak Estonian as their mother tongue, Estonian as a foreign language and people who speak different Estonian dialects are invited to donate their speech. Speech can be donated via a computer, smartphone or tablet. The “Donate Speech” campaign hopes to collect 4000 hours of speech by February 2023.
