Field notes
The research section describes a pipeline from digitizing bilingual dictionaries and collecting acoustic data to adapting open models for low-resource languages. It names Gemma, wav2vec 2.0, and mBART-50, and says the team is pursuing INT8 quantization for mobile inference. The page presents health and legal applications as later products, while its partnership form asks visitors to identify how they might contribute.
