Breaking down language barriers, one phrase at a time
To provide free, accessible language translation and learning tools that empower communication across cultures, especially focusing on underserved East African languages.
Free for everyone, everywhere
Preserving linguistic diversity
Modern tech for ancient tongues
Language Bridge was born from a simple observation: while translation services exist for major world languages, many East African languages are underserved. Refugees, aid workers, travelers, and communities struggle to communicate effectively.
We combined modern text-to-speech technology with carefully curated translations from native speakers to create a platform that's both practical and culturally sensitive. Our focus on contextual learning means users don't just learn words—they learn how to use them appropriately.
This project is powered by contributors, translators, and language enthusiasts from around the world. Special thanks to our native speaker community who ensure accuracy and cultural authenticity.
We use open-source and freely available technologies to keep costs down and accessibility high:
Natural-sounding voice synthesis
Fast, scalable web server
TTS processing backend
Responsive, mobile-first design
