CMUSphinx4 Speech recognition toolkit
Submitted by Shadrack on Tue, 2012-12-18 10:18This is one of the appropriate tools to work on if interested in building a speech recognizer, challenges though few include building a corpus for the dialect chosen.I attained 72% recognition on a set of isolated utterances in swahili dialect. If in need of assistance with the tool, Ill be glad to help.

Online Kinyarwanda dictionary
Submitted by Guy on Thu, 2010-09-16 10:02This is a Kinyarwanda and English dictionary created to help people who are learning either language. What makes it different to other dictionaries is that it has been designed for a Bantu language. Words are stored with prefixes, stems and modifiers, so it allows you to search for different forms of the same word. You can search for singular forms and plural forms of nouns, and present tense or past tense forms of verbs.

English ↔ Luo Machine Translation
Submitted by Guy on Tue, 2010-05-11 13:07| This is a rudimentary machine translation system for the language pair English - Luo (Dholuo). Its backbone is the MOSES statistical machine translation package. The system was trained on the Luo version of the New Testament. While it is therefore relatively capable of translating religious material, it is not very well suited for other registers.
