Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A CC-By Open-Source TTS Model with Voice Cloning
Yeah there's no chance Mozilla would do anything like this:
https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/
-
OpenAI's Whisper is another case study in Colonisation
Mozillas Common Voice Project (https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/) is creating an open dataset for many minority languages to make it easier to support them in STT systems. If you speak one of these languages please consider donating a few minutes of your voice.

Common Voice
> it was not at all obvious to me there was some way of speeding up getting a language in the first place.
Yeah, that's the biggest failing of Common Voice in my opinion. Getting a new language up to speed could be much improved by simply adding a few links to documentation, but even the existing links are broken, which I reported in March 2022... https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice/issues/3637
> I have no interest in wasting time contributing to a UI translation I actively don't want to be subjected to
Translating the UI may still help you get other people to record, even if you don't want to use it yourself.
> I'll see if I can submit some sentences at least
If you want to go faster, there's also a project to extract sentences from Wikipedia etc. in small doses Mozilla's lawyers and Wikimedia's lawyers have agreed are fair use. I think you'd only need to define how Norwegian Bokmål separates sentences. (E.g. after a period but not if it's a common abbreviation like "etc." in the preceding sentence.)

Web Speech API is (still) broken on Linux circa 2023
There is a lot of TTS and SST development going on (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS; https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech; https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice). That is the only way they work: Contributions from the wild.

Web Speech API is not available in the Quest browser
Since you're interested in STT and TTS, let me just plug in Mozilla's Common Voice, a way for everyone to contribute to an open source data set for STT. You can record yourself or verify other people's recordings!

Ask HN: Open-source video transcribing software?
How can it be used for transcription?
In their website I only see an interface for either uploading audio or submitting transcriptions:
https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/es
The Github repo they mention (https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice) seems to be just that sample collection software. I do not see where I can download the software to transcribe audio.

- What's the state-of-the-art, word-level forced alignment tool that is ok to use commercially?
-
Python and Speech recognition
Since you know that you have one or two phonemes in each recordings (one for vowel, two for a consonant) you will be able to find where on the recordings the utterances takes place. Which is a simplified approach of "forced alignment".
What are some alternatives?
read-aloud - An awesome browser extension that reads aloud webpage content with one click
allosaurus - Allosaurus is a pretrained universal phone recognizer for more than 2000 languages
DeepSpeech - DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers.
SpeechRecognition - Speech recognition module for Python, supporting several engines and APIs, online and offline.
vosk-server - WebSocket, gRPC and WebRTC speech recognition server based on Vosk and Kaldi libraries
STT - 🐸STT - The deep learning toolkit for Speech-to-Text. Training and deploying STT models has never been so easy.
