AERO: Three features are working in this trial webapp version: noise removal, voice change, and transcription.  These 3 features are being incorporated into SIL’s Audio Project Manager currently, and are under development for offline utility for 2025.  Try it yourself: aero.multilingualai.com

Acts2: Acts2 text-to-text translation, including docx translation, in 1436 languages: if you’d like to checkout our Beta release, here is the self-signup: https://acts2.multilingualai.com/ 

If you find a community that is not interested in AI translation for their language, there are appropriate reporting processes in https://ai.sil.org/ethics. 

FaithBridge: https://faithbridge.multilingualai.com/ here is a beta release of FaithBridge where you can sign up and chat back and forth with Bible translation resources, allowing bible translators to chat with resources in 80 languages, audio and text.  It currently uses mainly the resources in BiblioNexus’ Aquifer, available at https://well.bible//  We’d love your feedback (stars, comments in the app, emails to Mark Woodward) on how well it works for bible translators in your region, feedback on additional resources to include, etc.  Current modes include:

• chat - just engage and ask questions

• Oral version - produce simplified, dynamic retelling of Bible pericopes (shorter sections) to help think about the bible passages in different ways, as a stepping stone toward mother tongue dynamic translations.

• video and image search - there is a limited collection of pictures and video available in the Aquifer, curated here with AI search

We are working with software like SIL’s Audio Project Manager, Scripture Forge, and ABS’ AVTT to possibly implement FaithBridge in their software.  Self sign-up here:

M2 massively multilingual chatbot platform can help you deliver important content to the local language communities you serve, for example, via FAQ or Survey/Quiz chatbots. Acts2 integration allows you to quickly generate AI translation drafts for the chatbot’s text responses. M2 also gives seamless analytics across all languages you are reaching. Once you’ve built a single primary language chatbot, you can easily replicate it into as many languages as you want. And when you make changes to the primary language's chatflow, those changes are replicated in all languages. You won't have to make the same change to every single language. You can try out M2 here: https://chatui.multilingualai.com/
