Understanding and listening to AI Calabria’s voices
What does AI Calabria’s Voices page contain?
It brings together users’ validated public contributions: words, phrases, expressions, proverbs, testimonies and audio pronunciations linked to their territory of origin.
What is the difference between Voices and the Atlas?
Voices is a public stream to browse and listen to. The Atlas organises the heritage by concepts, categories and local forms.
Are audio recordings and contributions checked?
Yes. They appear publicly only after validation and when publication consent and the project requirements are in place.
How can I add a word or pronunciation?

Your municipality should not remain silent
Other territories have already shared their voices. Preserve yours with AI Calabria too.
