India is one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with over 22 official languages and thousands of dialects spoken across the nation. Yet, millions of women in underserved communities lack access to essential knowledge in their native languages. Audiopedia Bharat is on a mission to bridge this gap by making vital information accessible through crowd-driven translation and localization efforts.
This initiative is implemented in collaboration with key partners including the project "FAIR Forward - Artificial Intelligence for All" implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Digital India Bhashini Division of the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
What is the Crowd-Translation Project?
The Audiopedia Bharat Crowd-Translation Project enables employees like you to contribute to breaking language barriers. Through an easy-to-use platform, you can translate and validate health, education, and empowerment content into regional languages, helping to scale the reach of life-changing knowledge.
Our platform utilizes AI-driven Machine Translation (MT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies, allowing volunteers to edit, refine, and validate translations to ensure cultural accuracy and clarity.
