Does “labɔ” translate to “transform” in this case? What is the meaning of “yo”?
Without knowing the context (share it 
), here’s what it looks like:
Ka kuma labɔ yo sɛbɛnni
To speech make.emerge like writing
“To make speech appear like [ie - in the form of] writing”
The word yo is a Maninka/Jula form equivalent to “i ko” or “i n’à fɔ” —> It means “like” basically.
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks, that’s clear.
I found this sentence in the video “A Phone That Speaks Dioula,” where the developer says that audio recordings are transformed into written text
