Capability
3 medium confidenceAfrivoice gives eighteen African languages image-described and scripted speech across five releases, more than any other open collection for most of them, and Digital Umuganda's Mbaza recognizer is trained on it while Google's WAXAL corpus draws on it, though it has release cards but no paper. Some releases transcribe only part of the audio, leaving a few thousand transcribed hours, far from the hundreds of thousands in the largest English speech corpora.
