Case Study: Kenyan AI Lab achieves faster speech model development with ADEPT Technologies

Kenyan AI Lab accelerates speech model development by 3 months with ADEPT Technologies

The Kenyan AI Lab, an innovation lab focused on developing AI for African languages and accents, faced the critical challenge of sourcing high-quality, accurately annotated speech data for its model. Inconsistent annotations risked teaching the model errors at scale, a problem generic transcription services could not solve. They engaged ADEPT Technologies, which provided a specialist AI data annotation service.

ADEPT Technologies deployed a purpose-built, 18-person team using the Hartex.com annotation platform to deliver verified audio data with high precision. The team provided approximately 50 hours of annotated audio with sustained accuracy above 95%, exceeding the project scope. This compressed the lab's data preparation timeline by three months, directly accelerating the model's path to deployment and strengthening its speech recognition capabilities for local languages.
