Researchers have developed Dziri Voicebot, an end-to-end speech-to-speech conversational system specifically for the Algerian dialect. This system addresses the challenges of low-resource languages, including a lack of standardized orthography and frequent code-switching with French. The pipeline integrates automatic speech recognition (ASR) using a fine-tuned Whisper model, natural language understanding, retrieval-augmented generation, and text-to-speech synthesis, all trained on newly constructed datasets.
