Summary
An open-source framework (PyPI: africanwhisper) for fine-tuning OpenAI's Whisper on multilingual African-language audio datasets such as Common Voice and FLEURS, with optimized inference, diarization and deployment. Created by Kevin Kibe.
Spitch is a Lagos-based voice-AI company (founded Oct 2024) providing ASR (speech-to-text), TTS (text-to-speech) and translation APIs/SDKs for Nigerian languages (Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Nigerian-accented English, plus Amharic) so teams can add local-language voice to call centres, media and learning tools.
