QUESTIONS
We develop inclusive speech and language technologies tailored for low-resource and multilingual communities. Our core mission focuses heavily on African languages, ensuring that AI systems capture local dialects and code-switched speech to bridge the global digital divide.
Native speakers can join our data farming initiatives through our custom Speech Data Collection app. You can securely contribute your voice data, earn compensation, and play a direct role in preserving your language on the global stage.
Yes, our tools and applications are available for licensing or renting. We provide end-to-end customizable infrastructure for universities, enterprises, and research labs that want to build their own inclusive, high-quality AI datasets.
Code-switching occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages in a single conversation (for example, mixing English and Yoruba seamlessly). Standard AI models fail at this. Our ASR and translation models are explicitly optimized to understand these complex, real-world conversational contexts natively.
Ethical AI is at the foundation of our work. We strictly adhere to fair data practices by partnering directly with local communities, ensuring transparent consent, fair compensation, and rigorous expert annotation to remove systemic biases.
Absolutely. We are always eager to collaborate with fellow researchers, linguists, and academic institutions globally. Please reach out to us via our Contact form or email to inquire about current research opportunities.
