Your voice helps the language grow.

Add a word, a better context, or your voice. Every contribution is reviewed before it becomes part of the public dictionary.

1 · Add language knowledge

Give reviewers enough context to care for the word.

Use the side-by-side fields to share what you know. A reviewer may follow up before publication, and your name stays attached to the entry history.

Share language knowledge

Add to the living dictionary.

2 · Record a voice

Pronunciation is knowledge, too.

Record a quiet, natural Karen word or sentence. Audio is held for moderation and may support future speech-to-text and text-to-speech training only with your consent.

Start recording

Record a Karen word or sentence in a quiet place.

Consent & review

Your recording remains yours.

KOA asks for permission before using a recording in a training set. Reviewers check the transcript, dialect label, and rights confirmation before it is published.

  • Record in a quiet place
  • Say the word once, then in a sentence
  • Keep personal information out of recordings

After you submit

A clear review path.

Submissions enter a queue for language, context, and rights review. Approved entries show their contributor and version history publicly.
