The Acoustic Dilemma

Generic speech models fail on Ethiopian speech. We built the engine that doesn't.

Linguistic Reality

Real Ethiopian audio interweaves Amharic, Afaan Oromo, and English code-switching recorded across markets, halls, and mobile phone codecs. Andebet resolves phonetic nuances at the acoustic layer.

For years, teams working in Ethiopia were stuck choosing between two bad options: expensive manual transcription taking weeks to return, or generic speech APIs that hallucinate random characters whenever Amharic or Afaan Oromo is spoken.

Real Ethiopian audio doesn't fit into sterile monolingual boxes. People naturally switch between Amharic and English; audio is recorded in noisy, crowded markets, dusty field stations, or echoey government halls; and Ge'ez orthography requires exact punctuation to retain legal and journalistic meaning.

Andebet solves this directly. Powered by deep acoustic fine-tuning and intelligent language detection, our pipeline understands dialects, preserves nuance, and outputs clean, verifiable transcripts in seconds.

Workflow & Pipeline

From raw audio to structured intelligence in three simple steps.

01 // INGESTION

Upload or Record

Drop in your audio files or record directly in your browser. Andebet automatically inspects sample rates, removes acoustic noise, and splits large files into parallelized chunks.

02 // DECODING

ASR & Diarization

Our multimodal speech pipeline identifies each speaker, tags timestamps, recognizes mixed English loanwords, and formats fidel script with accurate word boundaries.

03 // SYNTHESIS

Review, Query & Export

Read the synchronized transcript alongside our interactive player, ask questions with Ask Andebet, or export formatted subtitles (SRT, VTT) and JSON directly to your tools.

Capabilities Specification

Engineered specifically for the realities of Ethiopian speech.

CAP-01 // SPEC

Speaker Diarization

Distinguish between multiple voices automatically. Label speakers as 'Speaker 1', 'Speaker 2' or rename them to specific participants.

CAP-02 // SPEC

Natural Code-Switching

Conversations in Addis Ababa frequently interweave Amharic and English. Andebet detects code-switching without skipping a beat.

CAP-03 // SPEC

Ge'ez Orthography & Punctuation

Transcripts include standard Ge'ez punctuation marks (፡, ።, ፣) ensuring proper grammar and high reading clarity.

CAP-04 // SPEC

Broadcast Subtitle Export

Generate production-ready SRT and WebVTT caption tracks with frame-accurate timing for television and online video.

CAP-05 // SPEC

Timestamped Audio Scrubbing

Click any word in the transcript to jump the audio player straight to that moment. Verify speech instantly.

CAP-06 // SPEC

Sovereign & On-Prem Deployment

Keep sensitive conversations strictly within your borders. Deploy via air-gapped on-premise containers or secure local clouds.

“Transcribing 40 hours of Amharic focus groups used to take our research team three full weeks. With Andebet, we processed the entire batch in an afternoon with flawless speaker separation.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our speech transcription engine.

Andebet is purpose-built for Ethiopian acoustics, trained on real-world audio across diverse environments rather than sanitized synthetic datasets. It accurately captures regional accents, telephone audio, and background street noise while disambiguating Ge'ez fidel homophones.

Code-switching is native to urban Ethiopian speech. Andebet automatically detects language transitions mid-sentence without restarting speech decoders. English loanwords, financial terms, and technical jargon are transcribed in their standard Latin spelling while surrounding speech is formatted in Ge'ez fidel.

You can upload WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WebM, and MP4 files up to 2GB in size through our web workspace. For files longer than 2 hours, Andebet automatically chunks and streams audio in parallel without losing speaker continuity.

Yes. You can export in one click to SRT, WebVTT, JSON, TXT, and CSV. Both word-level timestamps and speaker-segmented timestamps are fully supported and ready for YouTube, Premiere Pro, or broadcast captioning software.

Yes. Audio files and generated transcripts are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit via TLS 1.3. We offer private workspace isolation, role-based access control, and dedicated on-premise deployment options for government and enterprise customers.

Yes. Every feature in our workspace is accessible through our Developer REST API (POST /v1/transcriptions). We provide official SDKs for Python and TypeScript, plus support for asynchronous webhooks and streaming audio.
