About this app
Listen to the voice of your roots.
SEGBE is the free app that teaches, shares, and preserves West African languages. First installment: the Gbe continuum—Fon, Ewe, Mina, Adja-Gbe—spoken by over 13 million people in Benin, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria, and throughout their diaspora.
Three complementary modes
• Learner mode: Interactive lessons, essential vocabulary, guided exercises. For beginners and advanced learners alike.
• Contributor mode: Are you a native speaker? Your voice can save a language. Record words, proverbs, and stories. Each clip enriches an open linguistic corpus.
• Community validator mode: Moderate contributions from other speakers and unlock recognition levels.
Why SEGBE?
Today, neither Siri, Alexa, nor Google Assistant understands the languages of the Gbe continuum. Artificial intelligence models are primarily trained on English, French, and Mandarin. SEGBE reverses this equation by building, from its users' voices, the corpora that will allow these languages to exist in the digital world in the future.
Who is it for?
SEGBE is for the diaspora who want to reconnect with their heritage language, young people who want to pass it on to their children, native speakers who want to contribute to collective memory, teachers and researchers, and curious learners. The interface has been designed for both older and younger users: large buttons, clear text, and step-by-step guidance.
Confidentiality and respect
• Granular consent, scope by scope (internal corpus, search, open data, learner mode, AI training — 5 distinct decisions that can be modified at any time).
• No advertising, no trackers, no intrusive analytics.
• Your recordings are stored in Europe (Supabase servers in Paris), encrypted at rest and in transit.
• No speaker recognition, ever.
• Account deletion effective within 24 hours, with a single click, compliant with GDPR Article 17.
• Full export of your data in JSON format, compliant with GDPR Article 20.
Roadmap
Coming soon in future versions: full Adja-Gbe, Wolof, Mandinka, Mandjak, Yoruba, Dioula, Bambara, Lingala, Malagasy, and more. The list is being updated by the community.
About
Application published by AMOK TECH SASU (SIREN 902 473 842). The collected linguistic corpus is the property of the Sègbé Corpus Association (French Law 1901). Mènoudé H., founder, is of Togolese maternal lineage and Beninese paternal lineage.
