India is producing a blue-print for nation building in the digital age with India Stack.

India Stack is described by some as the biggest IT project ever achieved by any government and the largest API on earth.

All components of India Stack have been built using a first-principles approach leveraging "commodity technology, modest investment, and a commitment to solving for economic primitives."

"Just like the fictional trio from the Kibera slum, 1.3 billion Indians are currently enjoying access to fundamental digital services that are far ahead of their time.”

It's a story that needs to be told.

Fascinating - I haven't heard the term "economic primitives" before. Great that they can connect through mobile devices.

Technology Gives a Voice to Those with Speech Disabilities

Based on machine learning and speech recognition algorithms, the AI-powered Voiceitt platform is designed to recognize and translate speech by people with an underlying medical condition, disability or age-related condition that means their speech is hard to understand. The Voiceitt platform is web-based, which means that it can be accessed from any internet-connected device without having to download a program or app. It works either as voice to text or voice to synthesized speech, with the latter allowing the user to speak in person in real time, as part of a face-to-face conversation, or in a virtual, online meeting. https://nocamels.com/2024/01/ai-technology-gives-a-voice-to-those-with-speech-disabilities/
