Frequently asked questions

Which Igbo dialects does AuTrans support?

AuTrans works best with Central/Standard Igbo. Regional dialects may show varying accuracy depending on how distinct they are from the standard form.

Can it transcribe Igbo church services?

Yes. Church services in Igbo (or mixing Igbo and English) can be transcribed. Audio quality is the biggest factor in accuracy.

Is Igbo accuracy comparable to English?

Honestly, no - not yet. Nigerian English and Pidgin are our strongest languages. Igbo accuracy is good and improving, but English will currently give better results.
