**Building open and accessible Speech AI for Sinhala, Tamil, and English.**
We are developing AI technologies designed specifically for the linguistic and cultural context of **Sri Lanka**, with a focus on making high-quality speech and language technologies available for everyone.
## 🎙️ Our Focus
Our primary focus is **Speech AI**, covering the complete speech technology stack:
- 🗣️ **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR / STT)** — Speech-to-text for Sinhala, Tamil, and English
- 🔊 **Text-to-Speech (TTS)** — Natural and expressive speech synthesis
- 🌐 **Multilingual & Code-Switching Speech** — Handling Sinhala, Tamil, and English in real-world conversations
- 🧠 **Speech & Language Models** — Models that understand Sri Lankan linguistic patterns
- 📚 **Datasets** — High-quality datasets for training and evaluating Sri Lankan AI models
- 🔬 **Research & Evaluation** — Benchmarks and evaluation resources for Sri Lankan languages
