Today marks Ghana's Independence Day 🇬🇭! One thing you can't take away is our language. The work that @pazunre and team @GhanaNLP is doing is incredible, making our languages easier to learn & integrate into apps. I used their API for my project, and it's amazing! Check it out👇

Intense research and many GPU hours over the past few weeks has really paid of with this latest release of Twi speech recognition which is truly impressive and first of its kind 😀. Excited about this huge step and can't wait to work on this for more local languages across Africa

[Ghana Natural Language Processing (NLP) @GhanaNLP]

Our Twi ASR has experienced a dramatic improvement in quality!! It is already deployed to our API and the Khaya app so you can try it right now. A detailed discussion of improvements in metrics coming soon. 🙏🏾
