## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Human Translation & Dubbing: Manually hiring translators or voice actors for each of the 1,100+ languages. | Custom Signal Processing Scripts: Using basic open-source libraries like Librosa or Praat to build custom phonetic aligners for specific languages. | Language Exclusion: Foregoing support for marginalized or low-resource languages entirely.
Solutions: AI model that supports 1000 languages | Meta Massively Multilingual Speech model | best open source speech to text for rare languages | wav2vec 2.0 multilingual expansion | how to translate speech in 1,100 languages | Commercial Cloud TTS/ASR Providers: Using Google Translate's API or Amazon Polly, which support significantly fewer languages (approx. 100-200).
