Before you trust a headline word error rate, ask two questions. Who was speaking? Were they reading? Then build a test set that sounds like your users. silencio.network/updates

Today is Uzbek Language Day. 33 million speakers across Central Asia. Barely represented in public speech data. If you speak Uzbek, yours is one of the voices AI has hardly heard. Record a clip. Change that. silencio.network

Who recorded our Kenyan Swahili sample? 103 speakers, one clip each. 66 from Nairobi, where Sheng runs through everyday Swahili. 26 from Mombasa, on the coast. Unscripted answers, recorded on their own devices, every clip human-transcribed. huggingface.co/datasets/Sile…

Myth: AI understands every language. Around 7,000 languages exist. Strong speech models handle a small fraction of them at production quality. The gap is not technology. It is whether anyone recorded the language in the first place.

Every clip in our catalogue is recorded by a real person in their own environment: homes, streets and workplaces from Lagos to the Visayas to Addis Ababa. That is the acoustic world voice AI is deployed into. It is rarely the one it is tested on.

Code-switching is where voice assistants break. Hindi to English and back, mid-sentence. People do it without noticing. Models trained on one language at a time notice every time. It is almost never read aloud, so it has to be recorded the way people talk. We collect it to spec.

Our speech data is recorded by ~2.5M contributors across ~180 countries, on their own phones, where they live and work. Each one is paid per recording, with a consent record for every speaker. That is why the accents in it are the accents real users have.
