Voice & Speech Analytics in Low-Resource Languages

Build ASR/LID/diarization that works across low-resource languages, accents, and domains with smart data strategies and robustness techniques.

Low-resource languages and accents challenge ASR accuracy and downstream analytics. Success requires data augmentation, transfer learning, code-switch handling, lexicon customization, and continuous feedback from real calls. Proper governance covers consent, privacy, and bias mitigation.

Guidelines for disfluencies, fillers, slang, borrowings.

Speed/pitch perturbation, noise/reverb, codec simulation.

TTS bootstrapping for rare terms; phoneme mix for coverage.
