Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Nigerian English distinctive for voice AI?
Nigerian English has syllable-timing (like many African English varieties), distinct vowel qualities influenced by Nigerian languages, tonal patterns, and unique vocabulary. These features are rarely well-represented in American-trained AI models.
Is there a difference between Lagos English and Abuja English for voice AI?
There are regional variations in Nigerian English, though the core phonological features are consistent enough that Deepgram nova-3 handles both well.
