Lovo

Lovo refers to a traditional Fijian method of cooking as well as the meal prepared using that method. The process involves digging an underground pit, heating stones in the pit, and then placing food—often wrapped in banana leaves or placed in baskets—over the hot stones. The pit is covered with more leaves and soil to trap heat, and the food cooks for several hours, producing tender meats and smoky flavors. Lovo feasts are commonly held for celebrations, ceremonies, and community gatherings, with menus typically featuring pork, chicken, fish, taro, kumara, and other vegetables. The technique is culturally significant in Fiji and is associated with hospitality and communal sharing.

LOVO is also the name of a technology company that provides text-to-speech and voice synthesis services using neural networks. The platform enables users to generate natural-sounding speech from written text across multiple languages and voices, and it offers features such as voice cloning for creating customized synthetic voices. Applications span media production, advertising, e-learning, audiobooks, and other audio-focused projects. The company markets its services to developers, content creators, and enterprises seeking scalable, flexible voice generation solutions.

In addition, Lovo may appear as a surname or toponym in various regions. As a term, it thus encompasses a traditional culinary practice, a modern technology platform, and occasional cultural or geographic uses, depending on context.
