Perhaps they want to do both eventually (?) That could explain the name.

Common Voice is only about collecting a large public database of voices. We do have a separate project around speech-to-text [1]. We haven't done much work around speaker recognition (AFAIK) or voice synthesis, but they are both very interesting both from a technical and privacy related standpoint. That said, both are out of the scope of Common Voice (which is only about the data).
