Speech and translation AI built for the way people actually speak.
NovaxAILab is creating practical language technology for Sierra Leonean Krio and other African creoles — helping voice and text move naturally between people, platforms, and communities.
What we are building
A full language stack for everyday communication.
The goal is not only to translate text, but to make spoken language usable in the places people already communicate — from voice notes and phone calls to digital services and education tools.
Speech-to-text
Turn voice notes, phone calls, and everyday audio into usable text for Krio and related creoles.
Text-to-speech
Bring written Krio back into natural spoken audio so conversations feel human and local.
Translation
Bridge local languages with broader audiences while preserving the tone and meaning of the message.
Why Krio first
A practical starting point for broader language infrastructure.
- Built for real-world communication, not just studio recordings.
- Designed to support low-resource language contexts with practical deployment in mind.
- Focused on African language infrastructure that can grow beyond a single use case.
How it works
From a spoken message to useful understanding and back again.
The system starts with real speech, turns it into text, then supports a response in the same language — making digital interaction feel less foreign and more local.
Already shipped
- • Krio speech recognition for everyday audio and voice notes.
