Over 120 million people speak Ethiopian languages. Global speech models ignore them.

Most speech recognition technologies from Silicon Valley treat African languages as an afterthought. Their training sets rely on small synthetic readings scraped from the internet, completely disconnected from real Ethiopian speech rhythm, background noises, and colloquial idioms.

When evaluated on spontaneous conversation or field recordings from outside the capital, error rates spike over 45%, rendering them unusable for professional transcription, research, or enterprise automation.

Andebet solves this. By partnering with native speakers, academic institutions, and regional linguists across Ethiopia, our models capture the true phonetic richness and dialectal beauty of Horn of Africa languages.

Deep acoustic models for Ethiopia's principal languages.

Trained on authentic conversational speech, broadcast archives, and regional field recordings.

Ethio-Semitic · Ge'ez ScriptNative Ge'ez Model

Amharic (አማርኛ)

Complete acoustic coverage for over 57 million native and second-language speakers. Handles urban Addis Ababa idioms, formal ministerial language, and regional accents across Shewa, Gojjam, Wollo, and Gondar.

Cushitic · Qubee OrthographyNative Qubee Model

Afaan Oromo

The most widely spoken language in Ethiopia, with over 40 million speakers. Our model faithfully preserves double vowels, gemination, and glottal stops across Central, Western, and Eastern dialects.

“Guddinni dinagdee biyya keenyaa teeknooloojii ammayyaa fi omishtummaa irratti hundaa'a.”
Ethio-Semitic · Ge'ez ScriptNative Tigrinya Model

Tigrinya (ትግርኛ)

Trained on authentic broadcast, legal, and conversational recordings from Tigray and the broader Horn. Accurately maps phonemic distinctions unique to Tigrinya grammar and morphology.

Global · Ethiopian CadenceBilingual Acoustic Model

Ethiopian English & Code-Switching

English as spoken in diplomatic, academic, and business circles across East Africa. Understands Ethiopian phonology, stress patterns, and natural code-switching with local languages.

“The National Bank directive will establish new regulatory compliance guidelines.”

Engineered for real-world acoustic environments.

Built to withstand noisy market field recordings, low-bandwidth telephone lines, and multi-speaker settings.

Cellular & Low-Bandwidth Resilience

Phone calls in Ethiopia often suffer from low sampling rates and packet loss. Andebet's models are robust to 8kHz and 16kHz audio.

Automatic Language Detection

Upload multi-lingual conference recordings without specifying the language upfront. Andebet detects speech dynamically.

Ge'ez Fidel Normalization

Handles variations in fidel homophone spelling while preserving formal legal, religious, and governmental conventions.

Acoustic Noise Filtering

Separates spoken dialogue from market background chatter, vehicle noise, and room reverberation in real time.

Dynamic Vocabulary Expansion

Continuously updated with contemporary Ethiopian terms, emerging startup vocabulary, and public administrative jargon.

Local Language Sovereignty

Ethiopic linguistic models hosted on high-performance infrastructure with complete tenant data isolation.

“For the first time, our media network can transcribe both Amharic and Afaan Oromo radio broadcasts in real time with correct fidel punctuation and zero hallucinations. It has cut our publishing cycle by 80%.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding language support, dialects, and orthography.

We offer full production speech-to-text, speaker diarization, and semantic search for Amharic (አማርኛ), Afaan Oromo, Tigrinya (ትግርኛ), and English as spoken across the Horn of Africa. Additional regional languages, including Somali and Wolaytta, are currently in active research.

Our training corpora include verified speech samples recorded across multiple provinces and administrative regions. For example, in Amharic, our acoustic models handle Addis Ababa, Gojjam, Wollo, and Gondar accents without degradation in word error rate.

Yes. Urban conversations, tech meetings, and financial interviews in Ethiopia frequently switch between Amharic and English. Andebet's bilingual language model automatically switches orthographies mid-sentence, outputting fidel for Amharic and Latin characters for English words.

Our language model includes a contextual normalization layer that infers the intended word meaning based on grammatical structure and context, ensuring standardized, professional spelling in formal transcriptions.

Yes. Our Afaan Oromo models are trained natively on Qubee orthography, accurately transcribing geminated consonants, long vowels, and glottal apostrophes (hudhaa) according to standardized grammatical conventions.

Yes. Enterprise workspaces and Developer API users can supply custom glossaries, medical terminology, legal phrasing, or proprietary product names to bias the acoustic decoder toward specific vocabulary.
