Screenshot of an English-Wikipedia infobox including a Voice Intro Project audio file. In this case the subject is Paolo Nespoli, who made his recording in November 2017, on board the International Space Station!

A project to make audio recordings in which Wikipedia subjects speak their own name, and introduce themselves.

Tại sao?

So that we know how a notable person pronounces their own name, and what they sound like. The sound of their voice can be helpful, for example:

  • as a way of identifying a person for people that have a vision impairment
  • to confirm a person's identity, if you've heard them on, say, the radio
  • to distinguish them from someone else with the same name

Việc phát âm rất quan trọng:

  • if you are about to meet them
  • if you are about to mention them in a presentation or on air

In fact, you’d have the canonical pronunciation of their name: their own.

Bạn phải làm gì

If you are the subject of a Wikipedia article, or a Wikidata item, please upload an MP3, FLAC or ogg audio recording of your own, normal speaking voice - you can use the Upload Wizard to do that.

If you're a Wikimedian working with notable people, you can do that for them.

If you are (or your subject is) fluent in more than one language, please record a separate file in each.

Try to find somewhere quiet to make the recording - even taking a few steps away from other people's conversations helps. If you're outdoors, get out of the wind.

Tôi không thể làm điều đó

If you can't make an MP3, FLAC or ogg file (or don't know what that means) you can e-mail us a recording in whatever format suits you and release it under an open licence. If the file is too big to be e-mailed, you can use file sharing or sound hosting services like SoundCloud or Vocaroo. We'll do the conversion for you. You're welcome to drop a note on this page's talk page if you have questions or need help.

Another alternative is to contact a volunteer on WhatsApp - please ask for contact details.

Bạn phải nói gì

Thông thường mọi người nói:

Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place] and I have been [job or position] since [year]

Hãy cho vào một khoảng dừng nhỏ sau đoạn "tôi tên là" và tên bạn.

Bạn được chào đón để nói thêm!

Listen to some of the examples, in the project's English-language category.

Bạn không nên nói gì

  • Don't mention that you're making a recording for Wikipedia/Wikipedia Commons
  • No advertising, pitching for work, advocacy, proselytizing or politics
  • Nothing time-dependent (so not "I am currently...", "ten years ago", or "This year..." - your recording is for posterity!)

Các bước thêm

  • Add a link to the recording, from the subject's page on Wikidata, using P990, with a qualifier specifying the language used.
  • Transcribe the recording, as Timed Text captions.
