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.

Yorupedia
Submitted by Ilelolaw on Fri, 2012-11-23 20:28Yorupedia created this website as a One-Stop-Shop for various audience who want to learn and know more about Yoruba language; the Niger-Congo language group spoken by over 30-35 million people in Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, and other Western African countries and other Yoruba descent in North/South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
No doubt, the site is a research resource center, as it provides detailed information on:
1. Codefication of Yoruba language (from Ajami to the Standard Yoruba)
2. Yoruba Grammar- Noun, Verb, Pronoun, Adverb, Adjective, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection.
3. Yoruba Grammatical Tree: Morphology, Phonology/Phonetics, Semantics/Pragmatics and Yoruba Syntax.
4. Yoruba Culture and History
5. Yoruba Numerals etc.
