Lean Lab crosses 10,000 labeled speech clips

Lean Lab, LEANGOOGS AI's research division, has crossed a major milestone: over 10,000 labeled African language speech clips in our dataset.

Each clip is annotated across 15 fields, capturing not just the transcript and translation, but the primary language mix, code-switching level, dialect and region, speaker demographics, audio quality, emotional tone, and a labeler confidence rating. This depth is what makes our data uniquely suited to training models on real, naturally code-switched African speech.

The road ahead

With a growing, high-quality dataset in hand, our next milestone is fine-tuning our first speech recognition model and assembling a working end-to-end speech-to-speech prototype.
