Overview

Podonos evaluates speech with native speakers in the target locale. Use the language code below as the lan argument when creating an evaluator (see create_evaluator()).

​
Supported languages

Here is a list of supported languages and their median turnaround time.

​
About these turnaround times

The figures above are measured from real evaluations completed within the last 3 months, not theoretical targets. Across all locales, the overall median return time was 5h 56m and the overall average was 23h 28m. The Turnaround column reports the median for each locale. A few things to keep in mind:
  • Some languages take longer. Sinhala, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and Arabic locales have smaller evaluator pools and lower throughput, so individual runs can extend beyond the 48-hour figure shown. We do not throttle them — we wait for qualified native speakers rather than relaxing the bar.
  • Larger evaluations take proportionally longer. Figures assume a standard num_eval and moderate sample count. Very large jobs extend the window.
  • Time of day and timezone matter. A job launched as the target region wakes up returns faster than one launched at local midnight.
If turnaround is critical for a specific locale, reach out and we can confirm current capacity before you launch. Need a locale that is not listed? Talk to us — we regularly add new languages.
