LUN — connected speech, three modes.
Every mode below is part of the LUN 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 3
English only (Bantu-accented)
The same neutral English text read by Bantu L1 speakers — the accent is the asset; frontier ASR trips on it.
