Who for
Non-standard dialect speakers
Business model
API calls
Effort
A few months

People with strong regional accents often get poor results from generic speech-to-text tools.

A transcription service optimized for specific dialects and accents, starting with high-demand regional variations.

Monetize through API calls or premium mobile apps for professionals who rely on dictation.

The MVP could focus on one well-defined accent with available training data.

The main challenge is gathering enough quality voice samples for training each variant.
