Pretty cool! Do you think the model would be good at other under-served languages as well? Or is it hypertuned to just these?

The model itself can work well for new languages, its just the process of data gathering and maintaining high quality of data is what we have to figure out as we scale across languages.

Currently the model is only given data for these languages so it doesn't know anything else.

À crawler and data ingestion pipeline will not help with that?

Gathering audio data online is not that hard, but getting it accurately labelled is challenging, as the speech understanding systems for those languages aren't there either, so we can't automatically do that

Cool - makes sense!
