Actually, based on the site content I think they're using it to create an archive of speech data to train speech recognition systems.

That is correct. The DeepSpeech project, https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech will use this data to train and validate open source / freely available speech to text models. The training data, along with the trained models will be made available for free to all users and researchers alike.
