What it does

Record or upload Wolof audio and Kàddu transcribes it. Type a sentence and it speaks it. It also translates between Wolof, French, English and other African languages, all through a small API.

Who it's for

People who work with spoken Wolof, such as journalists, researchers and NGOs, and developers who want Wolof speech in their product.

Your data

In the online playground, audio is processed and then deleted. Only recordings you choose to donate are kept, to improve the model.
