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.
