## Who we are
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
[lab.et](https://lab.et) is an artificial intelligence lab based in **Addis Ababa, Ethiopia**. Amharic is spoken by over 50 million people — yet it remains one of the world's most under-resourced languages in AI. We exist to change that.
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
We collect our own datasets. We train our own models. We run our own infrastructure. No rented intelligence, no foreign data flows — Ethiopian AI, built in Ethiopia.
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
## What we build
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
### 🎙️ [voice.et](https://voice.et) — Speech AI
|
| 33 |
+
Automatic speech recognition and natural text-to-speech for **Amharic, Afaan Oromoo, Tigrinya, Sidamo and Wolaytta** — in production, serving real users through APIs and live voice products.
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
### ✨ [yakal.et](https://yakal.et) — The AI Console
|
| 36 |
+
Chat, images, video, voice and an AI site builder — in Amharic, Afaan Oromoo and English, **prepaid in Birr** via Telebirr. Built for Ethiopian creators, developers and businesses.
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
### 🏢 Enterprise & Research
|
| 39 |
+
Custom speech models tuned to your domain, on-premise and sovereign deployments that keep Ethiopian data inside Ethiopia, and ethically-sourced language corpora for research institutions.
