# Andebet — Language Intelligence Platform for Ethiopian Audio

> Enterprise-grade speech-to-text, speaker diarization, and semantic audio intelligence for Amharic, Afaan Oromo, and Tigrinya audio with Ge'ez fidel orthography.

---

## Overview

Andebet is the speech intelligence and acoustic recognition platform built natively for Ethiopian and Horn of Africa languages. Global speech models fail on Ethiopian recordings due to dialectal diversity, mixed-language code-switching, Ge'ez fidel orthographic homophones, and local acoustic environments. Andebet solves this with proprietary neural Conformer acoustic architectures trained directly on 16kHz Ethiopian audio across central Shewa, Gojjam, Wollo, Gondar, and Oromia.

- **Acoustic Benchmark**: 8.4% Word Error Rate (WER) on conversational Amharic
- **Orthography**: Authentic Ge'ez fidel normalization (33 core consonants, 7 vowel orders, homophone resolution for ሀ/ሐ/ኀ, ጸ/ፀ, ሰ/ሠ)
- **Ethiopic Punctuation**: Full Ge'ez two-dot word dividers (፡) and four-dot section stops (።)
- **Speaker Diarization**: Multi-speaker turn detection with millisecond acoustic timestamps
- **Latency**: Sub-second streaming transcription via WebSocket and batch REST endpoints

## Supported Languages

1. **Amharic (አማርኛ)**: Native fidel script, dialect handling (Addis Ababa, Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo), code-switching with English.
2. **Afaan Oromo**: Latin Qubee orthography, gemination, vowel lengthening markers, and regional accents.
3. **Tigrinya (ትግርኛ)**: Ge'ez fidel orthography, Tigrinya-specific labiovelars (ቈ ኈ ኰ ዀ), and conversational speech.
4. **Bilingual Mixed-Language Audio**: Dynamic language switching between Ethiopian languages and English within the same sentence.
