Oshiwambo
The most widely spoken language in Namibia, and the anchor of the Namib AI sovereign deployment.
What Oshiwambo supports today
Understanding and reply in written conversation — the floor every language here has.
Speech-to-text and text-to-speech for recorded voice notes, processed in batch, not live.
Live, real-time speech on a voice call — not yet built for any language.
Measured against published targets
Measured performance of the deployed ASR and TTS models for Oshiwambo, against Proto's target thresholds. Proto publishes these figures whether or not they clear the target.
Mean opinion score rates the naturalness of synthesised speech on a 1–5 scale. Tests ran on an Azure Standard NC4as T4 v3 instance with an NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU; the ASR test set used audio samples of 5–10 seconds.
Where Oshiwambo is deployed
Oshiwambo supports the Bank of Namibia, the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia and national citizen support, hosted in-country under the Namib AI programme.
