Language coverage

48 languages. Deeper accuracy for South Asian music.

30 Indian languages including all 22 scheduled languages. Language-specific correction layers handle the phonological nuances that general models miss — aspirated consonants, retroflex sounds, nasal markers, script-specific sandhi rules.
