The document discusses language technologies and their potential to help people access information in their local languages. It outlines several technologies including machine translation, text-to-speech, automatic speech recognition, and optical character recognition that can help overcome barriers to information for those who do not speak dominant languages or who have disabilities. It provides examples of how these technologies have been applied through tools and software in African languages to translate content and share resources across languages spoken by hundreds of millions of people on the continent.
A broad overview of localisation progress in Africa, focusing on the history and progress made so far. Looking at the contribution of open source, Microsoft, Google and other players over the years.
The aim of the talk was to inform attendees to the ICANN International Domain Name workshop on the area of localisation. As well as to highlight how IDNs are part of the area of enabling localisation.

How a text to speech tool works for educatorsCountants
The emergence of assistive Text to Speech tools can potentially transform the way students learn with the assistance of digital devices. Through this write-up, we have discussed some of the major benefits of Text to Speech tools for educators and children with learning disabilities.
International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) is an open access online peer reviewed international journal that publishes research and review articles in the fields of Computer Science, Neural Networks, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Plastic Engineering, Food Technology, Textile Engineering, Nano Technology & science, Power Electronics, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computational mathematics, Image processing, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, VLSI Testing & Low Power VLSI Design etc.
Leveraging machine learning in text to-speech tools and applications.Countants
Originally developed as an automated tool for the service of visually impaired people, text to speech (or TTS) has emerged as a preferred tool for many technology service providers for improving customer service. In simple language, a TTS tool converts written text into natural speech that can be heard and understood by any human user.
In a world where cross-cultural communication is the key to successful business, the need to speak to each other in our own language has become imperative.

This paper presents the method of applying speaker-independent and bidirectional speech-to-speech translation system for spontaneous dialogs in real time calling system. This technique recognizes spoken input, analyzes and translates it, and finally utters the translation. The major part of Speech translation comes under Natural language processing. Natural language processing is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that deals with analyzing, understanding and generating the languages that humans use naturally in order to interface with computers in both written and spoken contexts using natural human languages instead of computer languages. Speech Translation involves techniques to translate the spoken sentences from one language to another. The major part of speech translation involves Speech Recognition which is the translation of spoken speech to text and identifying the context and linguistic structure of the input speech. In the current scenario, the machine does not identify whether the given word is in past tense or present tense. By using the algorithm, we search for a word to check if it is past or present by searching for the sub strings, as “ed”, ”had”, ”Done”, etc., This paper gives us an idea on working with API’s to translate the input speech to the required output speech and thus increasing the efficiency of Speech Translation in cellular devices and also a mobile application that will help us to monitor all the audios present in mobile device and translate it into required language.

Transcription helps in future reference and analysis. The majority of seminars and conferences are recorded so that they can be further utilized for research and reference purpose. Hence, it is very much essential to get the transcription done from the established transcription service provider.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PURPOSE: assist organisation to deliver local language technology and content to their audience. To ensure greater impact of their work and products, MEANS: If you have a software solution in English for Kenya then we help you get it into Kiswahili. If your content is in French we'll help you get it into the languages that your communities actually read, write and speak.
Translation is a matter of life or death Education – mother tongue education Healthcare – breastfeeding, HIV Job creation – finding a job, creating work Legal – going to jail
92% of South Africans do not speak English as their mother tongue Of those how many speak it well enough for education, business, access to government services? 32% West Africa literacy figures sit at less than 50%. FRENCH literacy
Truth Many people have cellphones Their's probably isn't a smartphone They work when you realise the phone limitation Cheap translated Future Cellphones are the future Which means more people will be accessing your monolingual services You cannot hide behind statements about people only using English
