Leveraging Voice as a medium, Bhashini enables real-time translation, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice-to-voice translation between Indian regional languages and English.
This powerful tool uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to ensure high accuracy translations, helping to create a more inclusive digital experience for all citizens.
At the workshop, the vision of Bhashini’s Digital Inclusivity was laid out, demonstrating its software capabilities and its potential to overcome language barriers, particularly for citizens in rural and tribal areas who struggle with English or Hindi-based systems.
Tripura becomes the first state in the northeast, the first in eastern India, and the eighth state in the country to sign this MoU with Bhashini.
