Join us for the official kick‑off of the Shared Task: Mozilla Common Voice Spontaneous Speech!

​This live, online gathering will bring together researchers, engineers, and language‑technology enthusiasts from around the world to launch the challenge focused on building robust, multilingual ASR systems for under‑represented languages. In a collaborative Zoom session, you’ll hear an overview of the challenge timeline, data resources, evaluation metrics, and prize structure, followed by an open Q&A where participants can discuss ideas, share insights, and explore cross‑lingual strategies.
