Why OrbitalsAI

Language infrastructure should adapt to people, not the other way around.

Real conversations do not stay neatly inside one language. People switch between languages, carry regional accents and speak in conditions that rarely resemble clean benchmark audio.

Perigee-1 is built around that reality.

NaijaVoices benchmark

Built on evidence, not claims.

Speech recognition performance varies by language, dataset and recording condition. We publish results so developers can evaluate Perigee-1 language by language.

Perigee-1 does not win every benchmark. That is why we evaluate language by language rather than reduce performance to one headline number.
