Meta is boosting its speech and translation AI with a fresh program


Nunavut, home to several endangered Inuit languages, is already on board.

The company says it is looking for people to pitch in with at least 10 hours of transcribed speech recordings, pre-translated sentences, and a solid chunk of written content in their native language. Meta is offering a chance for partners to team up directly with their AI experts, helping weave new languages into open-source speech and translation models. Last September, the company even teased a voice translation tool for Instagram Reels, letting creators dub and lip-sync their videos automatically.
