We are collecting dialectal speech samples and their corresponding standard German spellings to teach AI systems how to spell the correct words.
The app simplifies participation in both collecting and reviewing recordings.
Both are essential for reaching a consensus on spelling.
Generally speaking, a word listed in the dictionary should be used whenever possible.
