+ # 🇱🇰 Trilingual AI for Sri Lanka
2
+
3
+ **Building open and accessible Speech AI for Sinhala, Tamil, and English.**
4
+
5
+ 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.
6
+
7
+ ## 🎙️ Our Focus
8
+
9
+ Our primary focus is **Speech AI**, covering the complete speech technology stack:
10
+
11
+ - 🗣️ **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR / STT)** — Speech-to-text for Sinhala, Tamil, and English
12
+ - 🔊 **Text-to-Speech (TTS)** — Natural and expressive speech synthesis
13
+ - 🌐 **Multilingual & Code-Switching Speech** — Handling Sinhala, Tamil, and English in real-world conversations
14
+ - 🧠 **Speech & Language Models** — Models that understand Sri Lankan linguistic patterns
15
+ - 📚 **Datasets** — High-quality datasets for training and evaluating Sri Lankan AI models
16
+ - 🔬 **Research & Evaluation** — Benchmarks and evaluation resources for Sri Lankan languages
17
+

20
+ | Language | Focus |
21
+ |---|---|
22
+ | 🇱🇰 Sinhala | Speech recognition, synthesis, datasets & language AI |
23
+ | 🇱🇰 Tamil | Speech recognition, synthesis, datasets & language AI |
24
+ | 🇬🇧 English | Multilingual and code-switching speech AI |
25
+
26
+ We are particularly interested in **real-world Sri Lankan speech**, including different accents, dialects, speaking styles, environments, and Sinhala–English / Tamil–English code-switching.
