Vulavula provides multilingual speech-to-text, translation, and language analysis for contact centres and customer-service systems.
Vulavula transcribes local-language audio, translates text between African languages, and supports multilingual conversations with code-switching. It offers real-time and batch processing, confidence scores, and delivery modes for live calls or post-call processing.
