World’s First Assamese Speech-to-Text Platform Aakhor AI 3.0 to Debut Tomorrow

As Assam is getting ready to witness the launch of what is being claimed as the world's first speech-to-text application for the Assamese language, expectations are also building up over how the platform could bring in a change in the way the language is used in the digital space.

Aakhor AI 3.0 is scheduled to be officially inaugurated on December 30 at the Guwahati Press Club.

According to the developers, the app promises to make Assamese more usable at a day-to-day level in digital life. The app could allow users to convert spoken Assamese directly into Unicode text. For many people who have a hard time typing in Assamese or switching between keyboards, this can be an easier, more natural option-just speak and see the words appear on screen.

According to the developers, the app is capable of much more than mere transcription. Automatic punctuation, spell checks, paraphrasing, translation and word meanings are some of the features that will make it useful for everyone from journalists and students to teachers and content creators. If the system works well, that could save a significant amount of time while drafting and editing text in Assamese.

The language experts and media professionals see that as an important step at a time when regional languages are often being left behind in the rapid growth of artificial intelligence tools. While languages like English and Hindi have already enjoyed extensive AI support, Assamese had remained largely on the margins of such technological advancements. Aakhor AI 3.0 is being viewed as an attempt to bridge that gap.

It will also be attended by senior media personalities and academicians, making it an even more significant event. The developers hope that the platform will inspire wider digital use of Assamese, especially among younger users, though the site has practical uses.

While the real impact as it gets unveiled tomorrow would come from how the application would integrate into daily use, for now, Aakhor AI 3.0 has marked a promising step toward giving the Assamese language a stronger and more practical presence in the digital age.
