The shape of this problem
Too much arrives to check it all, so you sample
The problem
Call-center teams needed searchable Arabic transcripts across dialects. Recorded calls that cannot be searched are closer to a liability than an asset - they must be retained and produced on request, but nothing can be learned from them. Arabic sharpens the problem: callers speak in dialect while most systems are built for Modern Standard Arabic, so accuracy varies with who happens to be calling, which is the worst possible property for a compliance record.
What we built
We delivered speech-to-text processing that converted conversations into structured text suitable for search and downstream analysis.
What moved
| Measure | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Word error rate on Gulf-dialect calls | 31% | 12.7% |
| Spread between best- and worst-performing dialect groups | 19 points | 5 |
| Call archive searchable | not measured | all of it, previously none |

Figures are drawn from the practice's own delivery records for the engagement named, measured against the process that preceded it. They have not been through third-party audit, and none is presented as an average across clients.
What it turned on
Handling dialect variation is what turned the archive from stored audio into a queryable record - uneven accuracy across callers would have made any aggregate drawn from it misleading. Relevant to any regulated operation retaining Arabic voice records it currently cannot read.
