Lozi — connected speech, three modes.
Every mode below is part of the Lozi frame. Filled modes list their consented takes; empty modes stay visible as the next thing to record. Counts and text are open; corpus audio unlocks with your subscription tier.
Your access: public — text & counts (corpus audio opens at pilot)
Mode 1 · coming
Bantu only
Page-length native Bantu read aloud — gold-aligned connected speech and TTS voice.
Not yet recorded for Lozi. This mode is part of the frame and on the roadmap — recording is contributor-driven, so the slot fills as native speakers record.
Mode 2 · coming
Bantu & English (code-switch)
Interleaved Bantu↔English exactly as people speak — a labeled code-switch boundary in every take.
Not yet recorded for Lozi. This mode is part of the frame and on the roadmap — recording is contributor-driven, so the slot fills as native speakers record.
Mode 3 · coming
English only (Bantu-accented)
The same neutral English text read by Bantu L1 speakers — the accent is the asset; frontier ASR trips on it.
Not yet recorded for Lozi. This mode is part of the frame and on the roadmap — recording is contributor-driven, so the slot fills as native speakers record.
Mode 4
Oral narration
Spontaneous oral narration — the future unscripted row.
