Hello, Nigeria friends,
My name is Alex Yang from an IT company based in Beijing, China. We are developing an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) program. ASR is technology that converts spoken words into text. For your more specific understanding, we are developing a Hausa language recognition program. Hausa is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria and Hausa is a beautiful language. I hope that Hausa friends are delighted hearing this news. Imagine one day in the very near future when you hold a conversation with a foreigner, say Chines, in your proudful Hausa Language, but through ASR technology we can understand your Hausa language. At present, we are at the stage of data collection, i.e. to collect Hausa text and record voice from 150 Hausa native speakers. We also need Hausa language specialist to proof the Hausa text and voice recording. We will pay appropriate fee for the work.
If you are qualified and interested in our program, for more information please contact me via wechat app. My wechat ID is 909701941 or email me at 909701941@qq.com.
Thanks
