Developer API
Khaya AI is releasing a public API to empower African developers. Sign up for early access and integrate our translation and speech‑recognition models into your apps or devices. The API will be available for free trials.
What’s included
01
RESTful endpoints
For text translation and automatic speech recognition. Simple JSON requests return translated text or transcripts.

Scalability
Our many‑to‑one model reduces compute requirements and makes it feasible to support multiple languages simultaneously . As we move toward many‑to‑many translation, developers will be able to translate between any pair of languages with a single request.

Use Case Scenarios
Smart Agriculture
A farming app can deliver crop advice in Dagbani or Kusaal and accept voice commands from farmers in Twi. The app could also translate alerts from meteorological services into local languages.
E‑learning
A language learning platform can use Khaya to present lessons in multiple African languages, transcribe spoken exercises and provide instant feedback.
Healthcare
Clinics can translate consent forms and medical instructions for patients who speak Fante or Ewe. Voice recognition allows nurses to record notes hands‑free in local languages.
Financial Services
Banks can deploy chatbots that understand Yoruba and Ga, enabling customers to check balances or perform transactions without switching to English.
