Inclusive Technology
African languages are largely absent from mainstream tools. Khaya AI provides translation and automatic speech recognition (ASR) for languages that were previously unserved.
World‑Class Accuracy
Our Yoruba translator outperforms Google Translate and we measure quality using industry‑standard metrics such as BLEU and Word Error Rate (WER).
Continuous Improvement
We learn from tens of thousands of user feedback submissions, fine‑tune models, and expand into more languages. Dagbani translation and ASR were added after listening to northern Ghanaian users.
