Proposal: Voice Data Collection and

Speech Recognition Platform for


[Institution Name]
1. Project Overview
To support research and development in natural language processing (NLP) and speech
technology, this project aims to develop a voice data collection platform inspired by
Mozilla’s Common Voice. The platform will collect diverse voice recordings, facilitate public
contributions, and make anonymized data available for academic or institutional machine
learning use cases. It will also interface with Mozilla's Common Voice APIs where applicable
and support local data storage and model training.

2. Objectives
- Develop a web and mobile-friendly platform for crowdsourcing voice data.

- Ensure support for transcription and validation of recordings.

- Store and manage metadata (age, gender, accent, region, etc.) for research granularity.

- Provide administrative and contributor dashboards.

- Integrate with Mozilla’s Common Voice API (where applicable).

- Enable future model training (e.g., speech-to-text) using collected data.

3. Selected Technology Stack & Justification

Frontend
 • Web UI: React.js

Chosen for its component-based architecture, reactivity, and large ecosystem. It enables a
fast, responsive UI.

 • Styling: Tailwind CSS or Material UI

Tailwind provides utility-first styling for rapid development, while Material UI ensures
professional design patterns.

 • Audio Recording: HTML5 Audio API + MediaRecorder


Built-in browser APIs for capturing and processing voice without additional plugins.

 • Form Handling: React Hook Form / Formik

Efficient and scalable form validation and handling in React applications.

Backend (API Layer)


 • Web Server & API: FastAPI (Python)

FastAPI is modern, fast, and ideal for building RESTful APIs with automatic documentation
and async support.

 • Authentication: JWT-based auth

Ensures stateless, secure access control between contributors and administrators.

 • Voice Processing: Python scripts using pydub, ffmpeg

Python provides easy audio processing using well-supported libraries like pydub and
ffmpeg.

 • Data Validation API: Integration with Mozilla endpoints

Optionally syncs with Mozilla's internal systems for standardized validation metrics or
data reuse.
