Gaita brings together voices in Basque for new technologies
- The Government of Navarra and the Basque Government have launched a campaign for the teaching of Euskera to machines and new technologies. The initiative aims to ensure the presence of Euskera in the digital sphere, as current technologies require huge masses of textual and oral data.
Under the motto 'Add our voices', the campaign invites Basque speakers www.gaitu.eus to enter the portal to record their voice and thus contribute to the Basque culture and development.
They explain that the greater the number of voices and recordings in Basque, the greater the number of data and material that the new technologies will have to work. Thus, by accessing the portal www.gaitu.eus, the platform will propose two tasks. On the one hand, you can read a written phrase while it is recorded out loud. Once done, the portal will propose to the user a new phrase and it can be repeated as many times as desired aldiz.Beste that a phrase recorded by another speaker is provided validated. To do so, it will be proposed to the user to listen to a phrase and its function will be to give for good what is in the phrase and what is understood, if it is OK, indicating that it is OK and if it is not correct, warning him that it is not correct. This option can also be repeated as many times as desired.
The initiative has come forward thanks to the Common Voice international initiative. It's an open, nonprofit, collaborative project. Voice input in 'Common Voice' has already started in 105 languages and is being prepared almost so often.

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
Agorrilaren 27an igorri nizuen gutunean, irailaren 10eko auzian euskaraz deklaratzeko asmoa nuela adierazi nizuen. Auzi honen hastapenean, epaile nagusiari euskaraz zekienez galdegin nion. Gutxiespenarekin ezetz erantzun zidan. Orduan, nere gutuna eskuratu zuenez frantsesez... [+]
