Problem
Kurdish language technology has lagged behind major world languages, leaving Sorani, Kurmanji, and Badini speakers without high-quality AI speech tools for text-to-speech, transcription, and voice interaction. This limits content creation, accessibility for blind and low-vision users, and the ability of non-Kurdish speakers to access Kurdish audio content.
Solution
Kurdish TTS provides an AI-powered speech platform that converts Kurdish text into natural-sounding speech, transcribes Kurdish audio with high accuracy, and supports live voice conversations with a conversational AI assistant. The platform uses a proprietary model, currently V5, to generate human-like intonation and emotion across 891 voices, spanning Sorani, Kurmanji, and Badini dialects. Built-in translation enables users to type in any of 124+ languages and hear the result in Kurdish, or to translate Kurdish transcripts and chat messages back into their own language. For developers, a REST API allows integration of Kurdish TTS and STT into third-party applications, with one-shot and streaming options, word-level timestamps, and MCP support for AI agents like Claude and Cursor. Kurdish Flow, a desktop dictation app for Mac and Windows, enables users to hold a key and speak Kurdish text directly into any application.
Target Audience
Primary customers include native Kurdish speakers seeking accessible speech tools, content creators and businesses generating Kurdish audio, and developers integrating Kurdish voice capabilities into applications that serve Kurdish-speaking communities.
