Most speech recognition models are trained on clean English and fall apart on Arabic — especially dialects and the code-switching people actually use every day. Audar is built Arabic-first: open-weight ASR models covering MSA, dialectal Arabic, and code-switching, trained on real-world audio instead of studio recordings. Inspect the weights, fine-tune on your own data, and deploy without lock-in. Built for developers and researchers building for the 400M+ people who speak Arabic.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Sia from the Audar team.
If you've ever tried to run Arabic through an off-the-shelf speech model, you know the feeling: it does okay on formal, textbook Arabic, then completely falls apart the moment someone speaks in a dialect or switches between Arabic and English mid-sentence — which is how most people actually talk.
That gap is why we built Audar. Arabic is spoken by hundreds of millions of people, and it deserves speech recognition built for how it's really used, not a clean-data afterthought. So we went Arabic-first: open-weight ASR models covering MSA, dialectal Arabic, and code-switching, trained on messy real-world audio.
Everything is open-weight on purpose. Inspect the models, fine-tune them on your own domain, deploy them however you want — no API lock-in.
We'd genuinely love your feedback, especially if you work with Arabic audio or low-resource languages more broadly. What breaks? What would you want it to handle next? Drop your toughest audio at us — dialects, noise, whatever — and let's see how it holds up.
Happy to answer anything today. 🙏
