For developers
A speech API for the languages Africa actually speaks
Drop code-switch speech recognition into your product with one API call. Twi, Pidgin, English and more, batch or streaming.
The gap
The big speech APIs were not built for here
General speech APIs handle African languages poorly and code-switching worse. If you are building for this market, that is a wall you hit early.
What Sema Ink does
One endpoint, built for code-switching
Send audio, get back clean text and the languages it detected. Batch a recording or stream live audio for real-time features. It is the same model that holds up on benchmarks it was never trained on.
Endpoints
Simple to integrate
| Mode | For |
|---|---|
| Batch | Recordings and uploaded files |
| Streaming | Live audio and agent assist |
| Webhooks | Async processing at scale |
