Problem
Live Islamic events and recorded sermons often require costly human interpreters, specialized audio hardware, and manual subtitle creation, creating logistical barriers and limiting multilingual accessibility for congregations and online audiences.
Solution
Baian delivers a cloud‑native AI platform that converts Arabic speech into audio streams or caption files in more than 40 target languages in real time. Users activate translation with a single click, generate a QR code, and attendees join via any web browser—no dedicated app or headset is needed. For recorded videos, the system produces ready‑to‑use SRT subtitle files after a simple drag‑and‑drop upload. The proprietary WAI Engine™ detects Quranic verses and pulls exact translations from vetted sources, ensuring religious text is rendered accurately and without self‑translation errors. All processing runs on scalable GPU‑accelerated inference services, providing sub‑second latency while maintaining data privacy through encrypted transmission and storage. The platform is accessed through a web dashboard that lets organizers monitor live streams, manage language selections, and download subtitle packages.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mosques, Islamic centers, and event organizers that host live khutbahs or produce recorded sermons, as well as media producers seeking accurate multilingual subtitles for religious video content.
