35-years old Omolabake Adenle has launched the very first African language app under the SpeakAfricaApps project.

Omolabake Adenle is the founder of Aja.la Studios, a company that builds natural language & speech processing applications for African languages.

She holds a PhD in Bayesian Signal Processing from Cambridge University where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fllow and Tau Beta Pi Honors Fellow.

She had been shortlisted for the Innovation Prize for Africa for her voice recognition and speech synthesis software for African languages, a software that can understand and digitize spoken African languages.

Her software will not only help newer generations learn languages that are slowly dying, but will also afford those who speak only their local languages enjoy the benefits of the digital revolution – just imagine a voice assistant (Siri, Google Now) that can take instructions in and speak Yoruba.

Omolabake Adenle’s Aja.la Studios has already built SpeakYoruba.
