Your voice, for the Nepali language
This project collects voices in Nepali and other mother tongues, so computers can understand and speak our language. You will read a few sentences — about 15–20 minutes.

Cannot record right now
You did nothing wrong. This check runs before recording starts, so your time isn’t wasted.
Microphone check
Let's make sure everything sounds right.
- 1Choose a small, soft room — a room with a bed and curtains is better than a big empty hall.
- 2Close doors and windows. Turn off fans, AC, coolers and TV.
- 3Put your phone on silent — not vibrate.
- 4Keep the mic 15–20 cm from your mouth, slightly to the side.
- 5Use a wired headset. Do not use Bluetooth.
- 6Speak at a natural pace — don’t read like a news anchor.
