Engage Africa NLP

Leveraging Technology to Support Low-Resourced

Cameroonian and African Languages

The Tech

Live Translation, MACHINE Translation API, Chatbot, LANGUAGE LEARNING, Transcription, and More.

Coming SOON!

The Engage Africa NLP initiative is a project designed to foster accessibility and use of African languages in the digital realm through the power of NLP and ML.

We are building the tech and the first languages will be released soon!

Help Build the Tech

We aim to harness the expertise of language experts, native speakers, translators and technologists to develop tools and applications focusing on low-resourced, underrepresented African languages, with an initial focus on Cameroonian languages.

By engaging professional translators, data collectors and native speakers in fun and interactive tasks, we are compiling  and valuable dataset that forms the foundation for all subsequent technological developments.

This approach not only accelerates data collection but also ensures the inclusivity and authenticity of the linguistic information gathered.

Collect Linguistic Data for YOUR Project

The Engage Africa NLP  app is now available and able to collect text and speech data.

Please get in touch with us if you would like to use it to work on your data collection projet for text-to-text, text-to-speech or any combination of parallel data. The app is free to use but you  will need our help to extract the data collected and provide them to you. We do this at no cost for projects aimed at reviving low-resourced languages.

For projects with different purposes, please contact-us to discuss how we can work together.

We are currently in the tech building stage. The app currently serves as a data collection platform and we have started collecting data in Cameroonian languages such as Ghɔmálá’, Fulfulde, Ewondo, Duala, Bassa’a, Bulu, Fe’fe’, Kom, Medumba, Yemba, Bamum, Pinyin, Ngiemboon, Meta’, Nso’, Tupuri, Cameroon Pidgin, Camfranglais and more. We aim to cover all Cameroonian languages.

The data collection platform is the cornerstone of our efforts, designed to gamify the process of linguistic data gathering.
