Core Architecture

Engineered for Qualitative Fieldwork in Oromia

Fieldwork audio is messy, recorded outdoors, and rich in local idioms. Andebet was built to handle real research conditions across rural and urban settings.

Neural Speaker Clustering

Multi-Speaker Separation

Distinguishes between lead researchers, enumerators, and community respondents with millisecond speaker turn detection.

Native Qubee Fidelity

Authentic Qubee Orthography

Faithfully models vowel lengthening (dheerina) and consonant doubling (jabaatina) essential for accurate grammatical analysis.

Aligned English Export

Parallel English Translation

Generate parallel English transcripts aligned with original Qubee text and audio timestamps, ready for international reporting.

Verifiable Audio Grounding

Audio Timestamp Verification
