Fiji Hindi is spoken by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide — and it has almost no presence in modern technology. No voice assistant understands it. No translator speaks it. We're building the first AI voice for Fiji Baat, one recording at a time, from the community that speaks it.
Fiji Baat isn't just an accent on Standard Hindi — it's its own dialect, shaped by generations of history in Fiji. And right now, it's invisible to every piece of modern technology.
Every major language has a voice assistant, a translator, a text-to-speech engine. Fiji Baat has none of that — until now.
Every recording comes from a real Fiji Indian voice. This isn't outsiders studying a dialect — it's the community building its own tools.
The voice we're building will power free translation and dubbing tools, so families and creators can use their own language, everywhere.
Simple by design — no technical knowledge needed to help.

Every recording is checked before it becomes part of the training set — quality stays high.
Fiji Baat is full of words and sayings that live nowhere online. If you know one that isn't in our list yet, add it — type it in, record yourself saying it, and an admin reviews it before it joins the official set.
