Khaya AI addresses the lack of local language digital platforms by providing translation services for indigenous languages. This bridges the participation gap for native speakers and helps preserve their languages and cultures. Khaya AI enables farmers, patients, drivers, and consumers to interact in their native languages, improving accessibility and communication in sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and education. The platform supports text, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and automatic speech recognition. It empowers local communities by involving them in the development process, ensuring the technology reflects native perspectives and strengthens cultural identity.
