I’m not sure why we’d bother to figure the cost? People have been donating their time to open source for decades, without compensation.

I’ve donated some time to the Mozilla Common Voice project: https://voice.mozilla.org/en

If a lot of people donate a little time, we’ll come much closer to making voice recognition a solved problem.

Google has a great project where they’re trying to improve voice recognition for people with disabilities:

It was meant to demonstrate that open sourcing a project can help a company with its realization instead of doing nothing or holding it back.
