Generic tools misclassify Somali as Arabic over 60% of the time
Standard voice synthesis sounds robotic and unrecognizable to native speakers
Translation delays of 8-15 seconds destroy natural conversation flow
Purpose-built speech recognition tuned for Somali phonetics and accents
Specialized Somali voice engine that sounds natural to native speakers
Sub-second latency that preserves natural conversation rhythm
