Contribute to the Voice initiative
Home Assistant Voice relies on different technologies, models, and data sources to process wake words and commands in all languages. Our and other communities’ projects rely on volunteers who donate their time, voice, or language knowledge to improve.
Note that models are trained on lots of data and that it can take time before you are able to see the impact of your contributions.

Donate your voice to Piper
To create a Piper voice, you don’t need an army of volunteers. You need a native speaker of a language to create a dataset, which is then trained into a Piper model and verified again by the native speaker.Check the Training guide
