Work that matters here
Hundreds of millions of people are underserved by today’s speech technology. You’ll change that, starting at home.
Build the voice of a continent. From East Africa, for the world.
We’re looking for researchers, engineers, linguists and builders who believe Africans deserve AI that speaks their languages as naturally as they do.
