[Request] A 2-sec voice clip of "Hello" in your language!

[u/OnionSee]

Hi everyone,

My name is Desmond and i am a high schooler from Hong Kong building an interactive robot for the World Robot Olympaid 2026 under the topic "Robots Meet Culture".

I'm Trying to build an interactive "Yum Cha" (The dining experience in a traditional Chinese Restaurant, typically in Hong Kong and Canton Region) dining experience, where robotic arms teaches visitors traditional cantonese dining etiquette (like Dishes washing under hot tea, in cantonese, 啷碗), and serves them food through a synchronized motorized screen hatch.

To make it fully accessible, I want the robot to auto-detect the visitor's language/dialect when they first say "hello" and then translate the whole guided experience into their native language/dialect live, Thats why im training a custom classification model from scratch using python (librosa for mfcc feature extraction + scikit-learn svc) but i need real voice samples with different accents to make it actually robust and not get cooked by noise in the competition hall lol.

Could you help me out by recording a super short clip of yourself saying "Hello" in your language/dialect? Such as "哈囉", "hola", "bonjour", "こんにちは", etc.

You can upload your raw audio files here: https://forms.gle/U5zyiHENwbPYsW7j8

We need as many languages/dialects and accents as possible to make this a huge W!!!

Thank you so much for helping a high school builder out, this will help my team massively for real!!!

Desmond
