Help record your language

• Speakers decide the name credit, the licence, and what is left out.
• Community consent can be collective as well as individual. A local protocol is agreed before any recording.
• No voice, transcript or quote appears in the app without a signed consent record held by the partner.
• Speakers can withdraw at any time.

Recording is done by local partners. A confirmed candidate is Idara Baraye Taleem-o-Taraqi (IBT), which set up the first mother tongue (Torwali) based multilingual education school, in Bahrain in August 2008. The source page is torwali.org, which does not say it is IBT's own site. Other partners for Gawri and Ushojo are not yet confirmed.

1. The partner agrees a local protocol and the language list with the app team.
2. The speaker is approached through the partner, in their own language.
3. The speaker reads or hears the consent form and asks questions. A day to think is offered.
4. The speaker signs or gives recorded consent, and chooses the licence and credit line.
5. The recording is made. The speaker may stop at any time.
6. The partner transcribes in the original language and makes an English translation, which the speaker approves.
7. The app team checks the consent record and publishes.

We want to record you speaking in your own language about things you choose. We write down what you say and translate it into English. The recording may be played in this app next to the place it is about, under the name you choose.

You decide your name or a made-up name, the licence, and what to leave out. You can stop at any time, and you can ask us to remove the recording later. Copies that others have already downloaded cannot always be removed, and we will say so. No one will use your voice to make new speech.

The audio, the approved transcript and translation, the speaker credit, the licence, the consent record ID, the place and the recording date. The signed form stays with the partner and is not published. Contact details and addresses are not stored.

Withdrawal removes the recording from the app. Speakers are credited by the name they choose, and the partner is credited for each recording. Faces, home addresses and family names are left out unless the speaker asks otherwise. Sensitive topics are recorded only if the speaker wants to, and are reviewed before publishing. Payment terms are agreed with each partner and are not set by the app.
