Neat idea. How did you manage to support over 100 languages? Are you collecting your own voice data for all languages or relying on the third party?

We use a major platform, and our customer data is not shared to train their system.
It limits our flexibility a bit, but it means our customer's data isn't being farmed off to a tagging factory somewhere.
No small startup can afford to do more than 1 or 2 languages, infrastructure cost overhead is incredible and the platforms keep moving faster and faster.
We think of these engines as cloud services, we're productizing infrastructure.
