Human Ethics Funds Translation Initiative in India

Audino is an open source tool used for audio and speech annotation. The program was developed to help translation services in rural India. Now, Human Ethics has decided to grant the project a grant. So They reported it Via the official blog.

Different languages ​​and dialects are spoken in rural India, which has contributed to the lack of adequate health care for many communities, they explained. It is estimated that the use of proper translation technology can have a positive impact on millions of people.

National Mission Health of India Works with health services. Part of the problem is the diversity of languages ​​spoken, which means that important information cannot be communicated and understood.

“National Health Movement appoints Accredited Health Social Activists (ASHA) to represent cities and rural areas. ASHAs act as a point of communication between rural villages and the wider health system. Currently, the main problem they face is efficient translation between different regional dialects. Accurate communication with local hospitals is essential to provide effective healthcare services. In most cases, villages and hospitals are hundreds of kilometers apart and speak completely different languages/dialects.
