Languages we're working on
metcha grows its language list deliberately — a new language only ships when STT, translation, and at least one good voice are all in place. On the active queue: Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Dutch, and Arabic. If a language you need isn't on this list, email hello@metcha.io and tell us where you'd use it.
