• Speaker labeling for conversations with 2 to 8 participants
• Event annotation for non-speech elements (e.g., laughter, background noise, unintelligible audio)

Join us in shaping the future of voice AI. Your participation in Project Lupin will directly help improve how technology understands and responds to real human speech.
