Speech AI for African languages

Ndewo.

Igbo — “Hello.”

Speech recognition, natural voices, and translation for Nigerian English, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and more — delivered as production APIs your call center, bank, or newsroom can use today.

Built in Nigeria by Uniccon Group. Every demo on this page calls the live API.

Live demos

Hear it, speak to it, put it to work.

Four services, four working demos — nothing simulated, nothing pre-recorded.
