Problem

Automatic Speech Recognition for
Hausa Language

Currently: there is lack of voice-based technologies for Hausa language such as:
Automatic Speech recognition System
Speech-to-Text System
Text-to-Speech System
Virtual Assistants
Smart Devices
Due to the fact that there is no or limited available speech dataset for Hausa languages

What dataset can be use for

Solutions

To bring the Nigeriaa Hausa language to the digital world and foster research and innovation. We created Speech Dataset that can be used to develop: Text-to-Speech system Speech-to-Text System Automatic Speech Recognition System. Virtual assistant Applications

Automatic Speech Recognition

ASR Speech recognition is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and computational linguistics that develops methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers.

Text-to-Speech

TTS Text-to-speech (TTS) is a type of assistive technology that reads digital text aloud. It's sometimes called “read aloud” technology. With a click of a button or the touch of a finger, TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and convert them into audio.

Speech-to-Text

STT Speech to text is a speech recognition software that enables the recognition and translation of spoken language into text through computational linguistics. It is also known as speech recognition or computer speech recognition.

Benefit

Application of
of Hausa Corpus

Applications of speech recognition technology Speech recognition technology and the use of digital assistants have moved quickly from our cellphones to our homes, and its application in industries such as business, banking, marketing, and healthcare is quickly becoming apparent.

With IoT

Siri’s ability to connect to smart lights and smart thermostats24 makes it seem as though instructing your digital assistant to turn the kettle on is not far off. The Internet of Things (IoT) is not the futuristic possibility it once was, but rather a relevant development happening around us..

In Health Care

In an environment where seconds are crucial and sterile operating conditions are a priority, hands-free, immediate access to information can have a significantly positive impact on patient safety and medical efficiency.

In Marketing

Voice-search has the potential to add a new dimension to the way marketers reach their consumers. With the change in how people are going to be interacting with their devices, marketers should look for developing trends in user data and behaviour.

In Banking

The aim of the banking and financial industry is for speech recognition to reduce friction for the customer.8 Voice-activated banking could largely reduce the need for human customer service, and lower employee costs
