Could you build this?

Partial While telephony integrations (Twilio) and LLM orchestration are standard, reliable low-latency speech-to-text and text-to-speech for low-resource languages like Amharic, Oromo, and Tigrinya require custom model fine-tuning or proprietary acoustic models.

What it would actually take: The system requires an event-driven WebRTC/SIP telephony pipeline (Twilio or FreeSWITCH) tied to low-latency STT/TTS models. The core challenge is training or fine-tuning specialized acoustic and phoneme models for Amharic, Oromo, and Tigrinya where commercial off-the-shelf APIs (like OpenAI Whisper or ElevenLabs) perform poorly. It requires ML engineering expertise and curated audio datasets in these specific languages.
