The World’s Most Accurate Arabic Speech-to-Text Model
Trained on 15,000 hours of diverse Arabic speech using cutting-edge weak supervision, Munsit-1 outperforms global models from OpenAI, Meta and Microsoft across every major Arabic benchmark.
Munsit is CNTXT AI’s breakthrough in Arabic voice technology — a next-generation ASR model built from the ground up in the UAE to capture the full richness and complexity of Arabic.
The leader in Arabic ASR Performance
Munsit-1 delivers state-of-the-art results across all major Arabic ASR benchmarks — consistently outperforming top-tier models like Whisper (OpenAI), SeamlessM4T (Meta) and Nvidia Conformer.
Munsit
:
Arabic ASR models benchmark
Average Word Error Rate (WER) Comparison Across 6 Industry-Standard Datasets
Tested across six key Arabic speech benchmarks — SADA, Common Voice, MASC (clean), MASC (noisy), Casablanca, and MGB-2 — Munsit-1 sets a new standard for Arabic speech recognition with the lowest average WER of 26.68%.
#1 for Arabic Speech:
Why Munsit Leads the Way
Most ASR models struggle with Arabic. Munsit was built for it.

How We Trained the Most Accurate Arabic ASR Model
Munsit isn’t just a model — it’s the voice engine powering Arabic technology at scale. Designed for businesses, governments, and developers, Munsit enables real-world applications across:
15,000 hours
From 30,000 hours of raw Arabic audio, we extracted 15,000 hours of high-quality training data using automated filtering.
Multi-Model Hypothesis Generation
Multiple ASR systems generate candidate transcriptions — we select the most consistent and linguistically sound.
Rigorous Quality Control
We apply perplexity-based filtering and agreement scoring to retain only grammatically correct, high-confidence samples.
Locally Built, Regionally Optimized — Globally Competitive
Munsit-1 is powered by CNTXT AI’s proprietary training pipeline, combining large-scale weak supervision with advanced machine learning techniques.
Public Services
Inclusive, dialect-aware voice interfaces
Call Centers
Real-time transcription for IVRs and voice assistants
Education
Live transcription for lectures, e-learning, and accessible educational content
Media
Auto-transcription and subtitling for Arabic video/audio
Whether you're building smart cities or streamlining service workflows, Munsit is designed to meet the region’s needs — and scale beyond.
