Features
Built for how the Arab world speaks
Arabic, Gulf first
Natural Fusha voices today. Dialect voices come from native speakers we record, and the Gulf gets its own model, sōtem Khaleeji, because no open Gulf voice model can be used commercially.

Gulf voices In training
Gulf transcription Available
Voice cloning, with consent
A copy of your own voice from a short recording, only after you read a consent sentence aloud that names you. We check the sentence is in the recording's transcript and store the consent before anything is made. Withdraw it and the voice is deleted.
AvailableTranscription with speaker labels
sōtem Scribe transcribes calls and recordings in Arabic dialects and English, with who spoke when and word-level timestamps, exported as text or subtitles.

sōtem Agents
Voice agents that answer in the caller's dialect
Phone and web agents for banks, government services and contact centres. They listen, answer from information you approve, and hand the call to a person when it needs one.
- Answers in the caller's dialect
- The agent hears the caller's Arabic or English and replies in the same voice and dialect.
- Hands over to a person
- When a case needs a human, the call moves to your team with the transcript so far, so nobody has to repeat themselves.
- Only what you approve
- Answers come from the information and actions you approve for the agent, nothing else.

No outside AI provider is called, not for speech and not for text.
Nothing leaves
Voices and text never leave our infrastructure.

Built on open foundations with commercial licences, each pinned to an exact version.
Safety, built into the engine
A voice belongs to the person it came from
Moderation
- Consent before any clone: a voice is only copied from the person it belongs to, after they read a consent sentence that names them, and we check it is in the recording's transcript.
- No-go voices: public figures, officials and other well-known voices are never copied without their own recorded consent. Cloning is limited to your own voice.
Accountability
- Every consent is stored verbatim, with its version, who gave it and when, before the engine is asked to make anything.
- Withdrawing consent deletes the voice at the engine and stamps the record. Every generation is kept in your history with the model and licence that made it.
Provenance
- sōtem Guard stamps an inaudible AudioSeal watermark into every clip the engine makes for customers. The example clips on this page predate the watermark.
- A detector reads it, so anyone can check whether a recording came from sōtem Voice.

Questions
Straight answers
What is sōtem Voice?
Text to speech, speech to text and voice agents, built Gulf first and for the organisations that serve people every day: banks, governments, contact centres. It is part of the sōtem family, and every sōtem model runs only on Mondaily's own servers.
How do we get access?
Through a pilot. Tell us about your service; we set the engine up with the voices and transcription your callers need, agree pilot pricing, and go live with a small group of real callers first.
When will Gulf voices be available?
sōtem Khaleeji, our own Gulf model, is in training on recordings from paid native speakers who consent, through sōtem Data Lab. No open Gulf voice model is cleared for commercial use, so we build our own. Gulf transcription is available today.
How do I know the clips are machine-made?
Open "How this clip was made" under the player. It names the model, its licence and exact revision, the reference voice, and when and where the clip was generated. It also shows what an independent open speech-recognition model heard when it listened to the clip, so you can compare it with the script.
How is it priced?
Pilot pricing per organisation. We agree it with you before the pilot starts, based on your volumes and where the engine runs. Public plans will follow once the service is live.
Where does it run? Can it run in our country?
Every sōtem model runs only on Mondaily's own servers. There is no third-party AI API, and voices and text never leave our infrastructure. If your regulator requires hosting in your country, say so in your pilot request and we will tell you plainly what we can do.
Which models do you use?
The sōtem model family: sōtem V1, Scribe, Echo, Dub, Sound, Muse, Design, Clean, Guard, Agents and Khaleeji. Most are built on open foundations with commercial licences (Apache-2.0, MIT, CC-BY-4.0), each pinned to an exact version; sōtem Khaleeji is our own, trained on sōtem Data Lab recordings. Every foundation, its author and its licence are on the Licences & credits page.
Can you clone a voice?
Only your own. The speaker records a consent sentence that names them; we check it is in the recording's transcript and store the consent before anything is made. We do not copy anyone else's voice, public figures included.
How can someone tell a clip is synthetic?
Every clip the engine makes for customers carries an inaudible AudioSeal watermark (sōtem Guard), and a detector reads it, so anyone can check a recording. The example clips on this page predate the watermark.
Does speech to text handle Arabic mixed with English?
The transcription model is trained for Arabic dialects and English. We have not published accuracy figures yet. In a pilot we measure it on your own calls, in your own dialects, before you decide.
Will transcripts show who spoke and when?
Yes. Speaker labels and word-level timestamps are built into sōtem Scribe.
Can we design a brand voice?
sōtem Design, a new voice from a description that belongs to no real person, is in development. We ship it only on a model whose training data is clean.
Is there an API?
Yes. Pilot partners call the same engine from their own systems: text to speech, speech to text and voices. Every response names the model and licence that produced it.
Can I try it myself?
Create a sōtem account to open the Voice studio. The same account works for sōtem Data Lab.
Which languages besides Arabic?
The world languages in the list above. They are served at language level: regional accents of English, Spanish or Portuguese are not separate voices yet.
Bring sōtem Voice to your callers
We're working with a small number of early partners in the Gulf and the Arab world. Tell us about your service and we'll set up a pilot.
