Overview

Lelapa AI builds language technology for African languages that mainstream models under-serve. Its InkubaLM small language model and Vulavula API expose speech-to-text, transcription, translation and entity recognition for isiZulu, Yoruba, Swahili, Hausa and more, so product teams can ship voice and text experiences in the languages their users actually speak. Pricing is usage-based with a free developer tier; the API is REST over HTTPS with SDKs for Python and JavaScript.
