Your respondents' language, labeled honestly.

Live means you can run a survey in it today. A language moves to Live only after native speakers review it and, for voice, after we measure speech recognition on recordings from the dialect you need.

Dialects

Tested with the people who speak it.

Kiswahili in Mombasa is not Kiswahili in Kisumu, and many people mix Kiswahili and English in one sentence.

We build test sets with native speakers from the region you are surveying. They include code-switching and local words, so you know how a language performs before fieldwork starts.

  1. Collect

    Native speakers record and write sample answers from the target region.

  2. Measure

    We measure accuracy on those samples, including mixed-language answers.

  3. Review

    A native-speaker reviewer signs off before the language goes Live.

Ask for a language we do not list yet.

Tell us the language, the region and your timeline. We will tell you honestly what it takes.
