About

I’m the Co-Founder of Josh Talks, where our current focus (ai.joshtalks.com) is on solving one of the most urgent challenges in global AI: the lack of culturally-grounded, multilingual speech data for model training and evaluation. We are building the largest repository of conversational speech, cultural image/video benchmarks, and multimodal evaluations rooted in global languages, accents, rituals, and reasoning. Our datasets are licensed to global AI labs, tech companies, and LLM developers to train and evaluate models for at scale deployment. Our work spans: - Conversational speech (170K+ hours across 21+ languages) - Vision-Language Evaluation Benchmarks - Custom ASR testing, model fine-tuning, and prompt-based VLM evaluation - Multilingual & code-switched speech datasets with annotations If you’re working on ASR, TTS or Speech to Speech technologies, let’s connect.
