Overview
Shqip.ai is a software based on artificial intelligence for the conversion of the spoken Albanian language into written language.
The software enables a speech from any audio-visual format or even direct speech to be converted to text in real-time, with a high accuracy (over 90%).
The whole idea behind Shqip.ai was to bring change in the Albanian community by providing support and giving easy accessibilty for people with disabilities, as well as shortening speech transcription time in different institutions.
Challenge
The development of Shqip.ai posed significant challenges, with one of the most notable being the scarcity of available data in the Albanian language. Unlike more widely represented languages, the limited corpus of Albanian data presented an obstacle in training our AI models to understand and transcribe the language effectively.
Solution
To address the challenge of the limited data, we embarked on an ambitious initiative to gather a diverse range of Albanian language samples. This involved collaborating with linguists, language experts, and even engaging a team of hundreds individuals solely dedicated to reading and transcribing materials in Albanian. The data they generated played a pivotal role in training Shqip.ai's machine learning algorithms, enabling the software to accurately transcribe spoken Albanian into written text with impressive accuracy.
