Lelapa-X-ASR isiZulu and Sesotho
A proprietary speech recognition model for isiZulu and Sesotho call-center recordings. The model card identifies version 1.0.0 and describes access through the Vulavula API and playground.
Model and access
The current availability matrix marks isiZulu as production-ready and Sesotho as beta. Code-switched isiZulu is supported. Sesotho returns speaker-turn segments without per-word timestamps or confidence.Vulavula language availability
Practical fit
Practical guidance. For this language pair, review conversations that move naturally between languages. Check names, borrowed words and interruptions against the audio. If users need to jump from a transcript to the recording, design the Sesotho view around speaker turns. Do not promise the same word-level controls for every language just because the requests use the same endpoint.
