How can we add Pashto sentences to Mozilla Common Voice?

Adding a new language to the Mozilla Common Voice project involves several stages. We have already completed the first stage by adding Pashto as a language and making it available to the list of languages.

However, we need to complete the following stages before people can start contributing their voices to the Pashto voice dataset:

  1. Translate Common Voice Page for Pashto
  2. Add or review sentences in Pashto for the voice dataset

Here we will discuss the second step only.

Add new sentences to Common Voice Pashto Dataset

  1. Please go to the Pashto sentence collection project at https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/sentence-collector/#/ps

  2. Create an account or log in by clicking the Collect sentences link.

  2. Once you have created the account, or logged in, click the Collect sentences link.

  3. You can now add single or multiple sentences (on a new line).
