  • Domain-tuned acoustic models
  • Custom vocabularies & channels
03

Lex & NLP layer

Text intelligence.

  • AFTA Lex: lexicon & morphology
  • Grammar rules & spell checking
  • Tokenization & normalization
04

Embeddings layer

Text → Embeddings.

  • Somali-tuned vector embeddings
  • Semantic search & retrieval
  • Clustering & similarity scoring
05

Application layer
