Tafsiri: Revolutionizing Podcast Accessibility with AI

In the realm of digital content, podcasts have emerged as a popular medium for storytelling, education, and entertainment. However, language barriers often limit the reach of these valuable resources. Recognizing this challenge, the team at ArtSciLab has embarked on an ambitious project to make their Creative Disturbance Publishing (CDP) accessible to a global audience, regardless of language. The solution? Tafsiri.

Introducing Tafsiri

Tafsiri is an AI-powered application designed to transcribe and translate the CDP, which are primarily recorded in English, into any of the 100 languages supported by the application. This web-based application leverages Azure Cognitive Services and is powered by a GPT-engine, enabling it to support conversations, search for podcasts, transcribe, and translate content, and return the requested podcasts with subtitles in the user’s preferred language.

Impact and Accessibility

The impact of Tafsiri is far-reaching. By breaking down language barriers, Tafsiri democratizes access to the CDP’s rich content, making it accessible to non-English speakers across the globe. This aligns with the vision of the Harry Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology at The University of Texas at Dallas, which initiated the CDP project.

Meet the Team

The development of Tafsiri is spearheaded by a diverse and talented team:

  • Collins Mwange: As a Cybersecurity and AI Applications Developer, Collins brings a wealth of knowledge in secure coding practices and AI implementation.
  • Oskar Olsson: Oskar, the Architect of the project, ensures the robustness and scalability of the application’s infrastructure.
  • Elmo: As the UX/UI Designer, Elmo is responsible for creating an intuitive and user-friendly interface for Tafsiri.
  • Rebecca Han: Rebecca, the Graphics Designer, enhances the visual appeal of the application, ensuring a pleasant user experience.

In conclusion, Tafsiri represents a significant stride in making digital content more accessible. By harnessing the power of AI, it transcends language barriers, bringing diverse audiences closer to the wealth of knowledge shared through the Creative Disturbance Publishings. The dedicated team behind Tafsiri continues to innovate, driven by the vision of a world where language is no longer a barrier to information. Stay tuned for more updates as Tafsiri evolves and continues to break new ground in podcast accessibility.
