The 🌻Speech AI ecosystem has been unveiled today. The possibilities here are endless! Imagine using #AI to learn a 🇺🇬 local language or accessing AI in your own mother tongue!
AI for Ugandans, built by Ugandans. I'm staying tuned. 🇺🇬#BUBU
Kudos! @SunbirdAI 👏

[SunbirdAI @SunbirdAI]

The future of technology in Africa isn’t just written,it’s spoken.

Following our launch of the Sunflower Speech AI Ecosystem, we are sharing a deeper look into why real-time voice technology is a necessity for Ugandan languages.

In a country where languages are spoken and communication is primarily oral, moving beyond text-based AI is essential for true digital inclusion. Our latest work focuses on:

(i)Sub-second latency for natural conversation.
(ii)Direct audio understanding to reduce translation errors.
(iii)Localized context built specifically for the Ugandan environment.

At Sunbird AI, we remain committed to open-source progress to drive the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) and create lasting social impact across the continent.

Read the full story on how we are bringing speech AI to Uganda’s many voices:

Walk #6 DT K’la

👀 Poor #airquality throughout (From heavy vehicle traffic, congestion, sewage etc).

Many DT residents seemed unaware or unconcerned about #airpollution, likely because cleaner alternatives aren't accessible or affordable.

We walk for #CleanAir4All

#FAQ of the Week

Is there a safe level of #airpollution?
No exposure is entirely risk-free. That’s why @WHO sets strict #airquality guidelines to help governments aim for healthier limits.
