1.5 Acknowledgements

This playbook was written during the first phase of a project to develop CLEAR Global’s platform for voice data collection, “”. The project also aimed to create the first voice datasets within this platform. The project is funded by the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation (PJMF).

We would like to say thank you to the many people who helped with this document, both directly and indirectly, including:

• our many partners, who have shared their time, knowledge, and feedback with us over many projects and years of work in voice technology and data collection.

• the Translators without Borders Community, especially the community members who contributed to the first TWB Voice projects in Hausa, Kanuri, and Shuwa Arabic. They gave us feedback and insights into the unique aspects of each language, and the needs of users on the platform. This helped us a lot when developing TWB Voice and creating the datasets.

• Jane Ruessmann, who helped us make the playbook clearer and more accessible through her thoughtful plain language edit of the content.
