The hard part is the code-switch.

Real patients don't speak clean monolingual sentences. They start in Bantu and switch to English mid-thought, often on exactly the clinical word that matters. Native speakers record body parts and health phrases in two modes: Bantu-only for clean pronunciation and Bantu & English for code-switch speech, with the switch point captured when the second mode is recorded.

One take. The switch, captured.

Click any consented take — it loads into the player and replays exactly as a patient speaks it: Bantu, then English, the words swapping at the captured switch point. The data self-segments at switch_ms, and the English half is Bantu-accented English you can validate your own model on.

🎙️

Two takes per item

Bantu-only and Bantu & English code-switch audio for the same BTS-BH100 item — 48 kHz mono, with switch timing recorded as structured metadata.

Real people, fairly paid

8 named native contributors so far — found, compensated, and consented. Relationship work, not a crawl.

📈

Growing nightly, honest

9,050 live consented takes to date — including 4,449 Bantu & English code-switch takes — across 11 languages, in active collection toward the full roster. We're plain about coverage because a rigorous reviewer should be.

Why it's differentiated

Monolingual ASR/TTS corpora exist. Aligned, consented, clinically scoped code-switch audio for body parts and health phrases, keyed to the same concept IDs as the text and grammar layer, is the scarce layer. That alignment is what lets a voice model learn the switch, not just transcribe around it.
