Thanks! You’re right, the big players mostly ignore these languages. The additional challenge is the lack of online data, so we spend a lot of effort on data collection and labeling on the ground.

Also companies like ElevenLabs, and Deepgram have done well by focusing on specific use cases, even when the big labs are amazing at English.

Right now these languages are underserved, so there’s a window to build the best models for these languages.
