Why Low-Resource Languages Are Voice Tech’s Next Win (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: What are you most excited about in voice? I think for us, the most exciting thing is global language support across all languages. We do research for companies that operate globally, and so one of the key challenges that we have is in those lower resource languages where there's very big, important user bases and customer bases for these customers, and right now we really struggle with that. And it's really important for us to be useful across everything because ultimately we want to be the customer context layer for all of the research that you do. And so if you only get to be part of it with us, that's not great. We hope that someone will crack the nut of solving transcription for lower resource languages.
- Global language support is the most exciting frontier in voice tech for teams doing worldwide research.
- Lower-resource languages remain a major obstacle despite having large and important user bases.
- Accurate transcription across all languages is essential to provide consistent customer context for global research.
- A breakthrough in low-resource language ASR would unlock broader usefulness and inclusivity.
