Crowdsourced voice recordings and their relevance for the development of speech recognition systems

Crowdsourced voice recordings have evolved to play a critical role in the development of speech-controlled apps. As speech recognition rapidly grows from a novelty to a daily necessity, you can expect the demand for both voice recordings and voice-activated systems to rise concurrently.

According to Grand View Research, the demand for voice-activated systems and devices is expected to be worth approximately $32 billion by 2025. But what exactly are voice recordings used for? Why are crowdsourced voice recordings important?

Corona pandemic: Fighting COVID-19 with crowdsourcing

How is crowdsourcing helping in the face of the COVID 19 pandemic? Can the “crowd” help to defeat the virus? The following are four interesting projects that work free of charge.

Top search engine ranking with unique content from the crowd

Every website operator needs content. This can include numerous short product or service descriptions, category texts, glossaries, news, blog articles, etc. This content can either be created quickly and at low cost or existing texts can be revised. It goes without saying that page content must also be easy to find on the Internet and have a high search engine ranking. For this purpose, it must be optimized for search engines such as Google. This means that the content must be unique, topic-related, interesting and packed with relevant keywords in optimal density. Depending on the type of text, a keyword density of 1-4% is ideal here; i.e. a keyword should occur 1-4x in a text of 100 words. If your own company is not large enough to create these search engine optimized texts promptly, you might want to opt for “paid crowdsourcing”.

Crowdsourcing based on a non-profit concept: Nine inspiring projects

Crowdsourcing is only suited for large corporations, to promote the next product launch or to obtain creative ideas at very little cost? These nine successful non-profit projects demonstrate that it can be done differently. And they may inspire you to start your own crowdsourcing project, whether as a profit or non-profit project.

Crowdsourcing services for start-ups

A large workforce can be very cost-intensive in the early stages of a company. Many start-ups therefore fall back on the knowledge and know-how of the crowd when special tasks have to be solved. Spreading individual tasks on many shoulders saves time and money.
