One of the report's topline findings: there is a major divide between the accessibility and accuracy of AI transcription and translation tools when they're used for English and other dominant languages, and when they're used for languages that AI researchers have termed "low-resource. " English represents more than 50% of the domains on the web. Mainstream language models are largely trained on data scraped from the internet, which is one reason transcription and translation tools perform so well in English.
