Project Euphonia

About This Project

Summary

Project Euphonia is a Google Research initiative that collects samples of non-standard speech in an effort to make speech recognition technology more accessible for people who have difficulty communicating. The website we created demonstrates how the data is captured and used to train new models, driving awareness and inviting more users to participate. We developed design, copy, animation, and bespoke sound design to tell the story of this program.

Goals & Objectives

Our goal was to draw awareness to Project Euphonia and how the data it produces is impacting lives every day. Communication is a part of everyday life, but it's also a significant obstacle for millions of people around the world who have non-standard speech. Every volunteered speech sample counts.

Results & Impact

The launch of this project has driven a significant increase in traffic towards Project Euphonia, as well as the other initiatives that have been created from its data. As a result, new Google Research projects are being developed with the goal to improve accessibility in daily life.
