This event is open to everyone! You don't need any
Knowledge editing experience to participate - just a passion for free knowledge. We especially welcome bilingual speakers. We'll be have an orientation and discussion at the workshop, and we'll be doing recording sessions throughout the

The diverse multilingual communities of New York City can help benefit the world through audio recordings of
Knowledge articles in many languages, especially in the vital domain of health-related articles. Who better to undertake this task than New Yorkers?
159:
In developing countries, access to the
Internet is one problem and the availability of technology is another. In such a scenario, offline Knowledge, too, has its limitations. Spoken Knowledge articles can be used on a mobile device, removing this
173:, but they may not be as accurate as a human vocal recording. This is particularly true of articles relating to science, mathematics, linguistics, and other areas commonly requiring unusual or unfamiliar pronunciation, or the use of symbols.
176:
Such audio articles are a valuable learning tool for those who are learning
English. If a link is given to the version of the page that was recorded, users may listen to the words while reading them.
189:
By hearing articles read aloud, readers can catch inconsistencies, redundancies, and awkward phrases not noticed by other editors, thus improving the written version of
Knowledge.
166:
Users can listen to
Knowledge articles while they perform tasks that exclude reading but not concentration (such as running, or housework), thus making the process more fun.
163:
Spoken articles have a major accessibility dimension, making
Knowledge content available to those who can understand regional language or English but cannot read it.
144:
186:
Some may find it easier to concentrate on an article while listening to it, especially in an environment with distracting sounds (with the use of headphones).
