About
Building speech and language AI for communities that deserve better tools.
NovaxAILab works at the intersection of language technology, practical product thinking, and African language inclusion. We are building models and systems that make voice and text more accessible for Krio and other understudied language contexts.
Our mission
Making language technology feel local, useful, and inclusive.
The work starts with the belief that speech AI should not only serve globally dominant languages. It should also work for the languages people speak every day in homes, schools, markets, and communities.
What guides us
Built for real people
We focus on the ways people actually communicate in daily life, including voice notes, informal speech, and multilingual conversations.
Practical language infrastructure
Our work is designed to support products and tools that can be used in the real world, not only in demos or lab settings.
Open and collaborative
We share models, research, and technical progress so the work can grow with the broader community.
The focus
Building a foundation for African language AI that is practical and scalable.
We are building toward a future where voice interfaces, translation tools, and language applications work more naturally for speakers of underserved languages.
Current direction
- Research and model development for Krio speech and language AI
- Experimental deployments for voice, translation, and accessibility use cases
- A growing open foundation for African language technology
