About this app

Khaya was the first translation app for Ghanaian languages relying on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. It has expanded to other African languages, such as Yoruba, Kikuyu and Luo.

It also now includes Automatic Speech Recognition capabilities for Twi, Yoruba, Ga and Dagbani - speak directly to your phone and the app will transcribe your speech into text! For these languages, to the best of our knowledge, it was the first app offering such general speech recognition capabilities.

Please note that noise in your environment and quality of your mic can all affect transcription quality.

If you find the app useful and would like to see it grow and improve, kindly purchase an ad-free subscription to support our research. Thank you for your support!

Ratings and reviews

This app is very very awesome,we thank God that this is the only app in the world that can translate fante.But I give this app 4 stars because it does not spell accurately,and if you want to translate a whole file or document you cant take a picture of it,you have to type in bit by bit which will take time.But in all,its the best app,but still needs more improvements.

A much appreciated and needed app. Me da mo ase! May i make suggestions for the apps future development (based on my user experience): a means to save past translations for quick retrieval in fast moving conversations. Also, where written and spoken twi differ; perhaps an underscoring of the letters ommitted when the word is spoken. I truly look forward any future developments in this app. Thank you!

Some of the translations are wrong especially for the Ewe and Ga please check it and make it useable offline please. After downloading the app, you can't use it offline so it impossible to use it where there's no internet connection.
