| Challenge: | Despite being large and generic, some languages such as Sinhala are left to underutilize the technology due to the lack of adequate resources. |
| Approach: | They propose to derive a corpus from a publicly available corpus for Sinhala speech recognition using crowdsourcing and web scraping techniques. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus reduces the Word-Error-Rate by 15.9%. |
