Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
Welcome (back)! We are excited to relaunch this project. In addition to studying the sounds children make, we are now asking you to categorize the sounds people around them make. Check out the tutorial to learn more about our new workflow. Thank you for your continued help!
