Phonivra is a speech data and voice AI evaluation company focused on underserved South Asian languages, starting with Saraiki, Pakistani Punjabi and Urdu.
Voice technology works well for a handful of languages. For most South Asian languages it still mishears people, because the data it learns from is missing.
Urdu is about 0.03% of web text in Common Crawl. Written Saraiki barely exists online.
We work where these languages are spoken every day, with local coordinators and native reviewers.
Consent explained in the speaker's language, fair pay, and documented quality on every delivery.
