Models in production

01

Nobody built speech AI for this language.

Hausa is among the most spoken on the continent, and the systems people meet every day were not built to hear it.

02

Voice is the interface, not a feature.

Where typing and literacy are barriers, speech is already how people use a phone.

03

One language, done properly.

Eight dialects, each measured on its own. We widen only once that holds.

Eight dialects. Measured one by one.
