  Exactly! Part of the goals of Common Voice is to make voice recognition work better for non-north american men (which is where the vast majority of the training data comes from). If you are a non-native speaker, we need your voice!

      Good question. Sounds like we should add an "Other" to that drop down, and make it clear that we are looking for all accents?
