Afrikaans speech data for AI
How much open Afrikaans speech data exists, where the gaps are, and how to get consented Afrikaans data collected.
That is very little: under 10 hours is not enough to train or fairly evaluate a speech model. Afrikaans is one of 223 of the 445 Common Voice languages below 10 validated hours.
